public final class SortResponseControl
extends BasicControl

Indicates whether the requested sort of search results was successful or not. When the result code indicates success then the results have been sorted as requested. Otherwise the sort was unsuccessful and additional details regarding the cause of the error may have been provided by the server.

The code sample in SortControl shows how this class may be used.

This class implements the LDAPv3 Response Control for server-side sorting as defined in RFC 2891. The control's value has the following ASN.1 definition:

     SortResult ::= SEQUENCE {
        sortResult  ENUMERATED {
