Sure.
In the Init response, they claim to support Sort. However as far as I can
tell, they accept the search PDU, but can't process it and return a sort
failure. And this is for something as simple as sorting by the single
attribute that was used in the search.
eg:
1. init
2. search for author=Sanderson
3. sort on author attribute --> Sort failure code and no resultset
It could be, of course, that our PDU encoding is wrong but as it accepts
the request but returns a failure I suspect that it isn't.
Does anyone support SortDetails in Explain?
Rob
