A returncode which points to the sort control result code,and an array of LDAPControl structures that list the client controls to use with the search. The function also takes an out parameter \fIattribute\fP and if the sort operation fails, the server may return a string that indicates the first attribute in the sortKey list that caused the failure. If this parameter is NULL, no string is returned.
