Also, I think LDAP doesn’t have good support for a sorting and paged query, but maybe I am wrong.

I think a method in a source to get all would do the trick.  However, can this be done easily from LDAP?   I thought there were limits and such...

Sure, LDAP searches and servers have time limits and limits on the number of objects looked-through, which is why I suggested 'optional' methods to Source, since these limits are implementation and site (!) specific. For example, our Active Directory LDAP interface is easily slurped by using built-in JNDI paging. Our RedHat directory server, however, does not support paging. It seems the LDAPSource would need appropriate configuration parameters - doable.
