/**
* Requests that the results of a search operation be sorted by the LDAP server
* before being returned.
* The sort criteria are specified using an ordered list of one or more sort
* keys, with associated sort parameters.
* Search results are sorted at the LDAP server according to the parameters
* supplied in the sort control and then returned to the requestor. If sorting
* is not supported at the server (and the sort control is marked as critical)
* then the search operation is not performed and an error is returned.
* <p>
* The following code sample shows how the class may be used:
* <pre>
*
* // Open an LDAP association
* LdapContext ctx = new InitialLdapContext();
*
* // Activate sorting
* String sortKey = "cn";
* ctx.setRequestControls(new Control[]{
* new SortControl(sortKey, Control.CRITICAL) });
*
* // Perform a search
* NamingEnumeration results =
* ctx.search("", "(objectclass=*)", new SearchControls());
*
* // Iterate over search results
* while (results != null && results.hasMore()) {
* // Display an entry
* SearchResult entry = (SearchResult)results.next();
* System.out.println(entry.getName());
* System.out.println(entry.getAttributes());
*
* // Handle the entry's response controls (if any)
* if (entry instanceof HasControls) {
* // ((HasControls)entry).getControls();
* }
* }
* // Examine the sort control response
* Control[] controls = ctx.getResponseControls();
* if (controls != null) {
* for (int i = 0; i < controls.length; i++) {
* if (controls[i] instanceof SortResponseControl) {
* SortResponseControl src = (SortResponseControl)controls[i];
* if (! src.isSorted()) {
* throw src.getException();
* }
* } else {
* // Handle other response controls (if any)
* }
* }
* }
*
* // Close the LDAP association
* ctx.close();
* ...
*
* </pre>
* <p>
* This class implements the LDAPv3 Request Control for server-side sorting
* as defined in
* <a href="http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2891.txt">RFC 2891</a>.
*
* The control's value has the following ASN.1 definition:
* <pre>
*
* SortKeyList ::= SEQUENCE OF SEQUENCE {
* attributeType AttributeDescription,
* orderingRule [0] MatchingRuleId OPTIONAL,
* reverseOrder [1] BOOLEAN DEFAULT FALSE }
*
* </pre>
