no, results are returened in database-order.

well, there is 'man ldapsearch' ;) (ldapsearch -S attribute), but this
sorts the entries returned by that attribute, not the attributes
themselfs.

rather than messing with the shell (remember e.g. that all attributes
containing umlauts etc. are returned base64-encoded, which you'd first
have to decode before sorting; also longer lines will break and
continue with leading whitespace, which doesn not work well from the
shell either) and doing your own sorting you might want to use Perl's
Net::LDAP. http://search.cpan.org/~gbarr/perl-ldap/lib/Net/LDAP.pod

cheers,
