Please read the man page more carefully. slapo-valsort is not for 
server-side sorting of the search results returned. It's for sorting 
multiple values of an attribute within a search result entry. So in your 
case multiple uid's would be sorted (which does not make sense in your case 
I guess).

Server-side sorting is not implemented in OpenLDAP's slapd.
