We only wrap around the ldap_sort_entries() function.
Report this to e.g. openldap authors.

Description:
------------
Hello,
there is a issue if you want to sort your searchresult by multivalued
attributes.

ldap_sort() works fine, but only if you sort by singlevalued
attributes.

Reproduce code:
---------------
I don't post code here, because its trivial. I will post an example
dataset with two entries:

entry one:
sn=aaaa
id=1111
id=2222
id=3333

entry two:
sn=bbbb
id=6666
id=1000

Expected result:
----------------
If you sort by "id", the second entry should move to the first place,
which he doesnt, because only the first vlaues of "id" got compared.



Actual result:
--------------
entry one remains entry one, although id=6666 is greater than id=1111!
ldap_sort() overlooks, that there is an id which is smaller (id=1000).

I think the solution to this could be to tell ldap_sort() to search for
the biggest value in the multivalue attribute prior comparing with the
other entries.
