You must also define an ORDERING matching rule for the attribute.
That is, you must edit etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
to say:

attributetype ( ... NAME 'uidNumber'
		EQUALITY ...
		ORDERING integerOrderingMatch
		... )

Or, somewhat cleaner: Define your own attribute type with an ORDERING
matching rule and use that instead of hacking the standard definitions.
