No, it does not seem to be sufficient. I have activated all the
indexes for the attribute (sn), the logs still show "notes=U" :

[09/Dec/2008:16:36:38 +0100] conn=3817 op=3 RESULT err=0 tag=101 nentries=40 etime=0.004000 notes=U

...

Maybe there is a special type of index for server-side sorting like
the one for the VLV?
 

No.
Do you have any problems if you search on those attributes without server side sorting?
