[jira] [Commented] (DIRSTUDIO-735) "Copy table" icon in the results page doesn't keep the rank of multivaluate attributes

["Emmanuel Lecharny (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-735?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13057167#comment-13057167 ] 

Emmanuel Lecharny commented on DIRSTUDIO-735:
---------------------------------------------

One important thing : you should make *no* assumption about the value order in an attribute. It's not mandatory. Morever, if you use JNDI from Java 5 you will get those values in a different order than if you use JNDI with Java 6...

I would requalify this issue as a 'New Feature', it's certainly not a bug. I understand that it would be "cool" (TM) to be able to sort the values, but this would be strictly a local (ie, on Studio) operation.

> The "Copy table" icon present in the results page of an ldap search is usefull to export the results by copy/paste.
> The issue is that the values of multivaluate attributes are sorted by alphabetical order (not in the real order in LDAP).
> The rank of the values can be important (like in my case).
> Note that the export function keep the good rank for the multivaluate attibutes; the issue is only about the "Copy table" function
