1. Client-side sorting is done within the client libs if supported. So
it wouldn't be listed in the attribute 'supportedControl' of the DSA's
rootDSE anyway. Not sure whether client controls are used in OpenLDAP's
libldap at all.

2. One should always try out whether a DSA supports a particular control
within a certain naming context. E.g. former versions of OpenLDAP
supported the Tree Deletion Control only for naming contexts served by
back-sql.

Feature detection is not that easy.

Everyone tired of looking up the OIDs should use my http://web2ldap.de
since it contains a registry of OIDs with descriptions of the meaning
which are displayed when displaying the rootDSE.

Ciao, Michael.
