As proposed in ticket #981, the UI should provide a way to sort the search results shown in the tables. This functionality depends on server-side sorting (ticket #2328).
The feature can be implemented as follows. When you open a search page, initially the search results can be either unsorted or sorted by certain columns by default. For example, the users are sorted by last name and first name by default:
ipa user-find --pkey-only --orderby=sn,givenName
If you click a column header (e.g. mail), the UI will prepend the attribute name to the sort order list and reissue the search:
ipa user-find --pkey-only --orderby=mail,sn,givenName
If you click a column header that's already used for sorting (e.g. sn), the UI will move the attribute name to the front of the list and reissue the search:
ipa user-find --pkey-only --orderby=sn,mail,givenName
The column that is used as the primary sorting criteria (listed first) should be highlighted, for example by displaying a down arrow in the column header, or by making the entire column bold, or by changing the column background color.
