True, my bad. Will have this with the full implementation of the API.

Here I think that I missed to use "sortAttributeName(String name)" shouldn't it be within the sort method sort(attributeName, order) ?

With current API the only way to do this is to have attributes like "display_name_en", "display_name_fr" and etc. Sort is done by default based on the id but I think the one you proposed is a good one to have also.

  | Also to be picky sorting should be locale dependent (java/text/Collator.html) . I understand that for database storage it will ultimately depend on the collation set on tables and would not change from a call to the other (without hitting performances really bad I mean). It could be different for other implementations (Have no clue about LDAP, I think you can't even sort but I might be wrong).

This part (sort/filter by attribute) is not fully implemented now for DB/LDAP. Some parts are more natural in DB, some in LDAP but it is hard to have good efficient impl for both. In some cases results will need to be post process anyway and this will hit performance)

I'll leave it for Jeff but I think it will be good to have AS 4.2.x support with JMX as well (for EAP).
