# ldap_sort

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7)

ldap_sort — Sort LDAP result entries on the client side

### 说明

ldap_sort ( resource `$link` , resource `$result` , string `$sortfilter` ) : bool

Sort the result of a LDAP search, returned by ldap_search().

As this function sorts the returned values on the client side it is possible that you might not get the expected results in case you reach the `sizelimit` either of the server or defined within ldap_search().

Warning

This feature has been DEPRECATED as of PHP 7.0.0. Relying on this feature is highly discouraged.

### 参数

`link`

  An LDAP link identifier, returned by ldap_connect().

`result`

  An search result identifier, returned by ldap_search().

`sortfilter`

  The attribute to use as a key in the sort.

### 范例

Sorting the result of a search.
