Hey,
thanks for the fast reply and the tips. I edited the original post and also quoted the lists as code. However, I do not only want the numbers before the e... sorted but the scientific numbers as a whole. So the order should be as in the third list of my previous post rather than the second. Under Linux, this works fine with the -g option, under mac it doesn't and -g seems equivalent to -n, where only the numbers before the e... are sorted.
Any further thoughts on this?
Thanks again.

3. UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers
Looking for help for sort, I learned that for sorting numbers I use:
sort -n
but it seems that that is not enough when you have numbers like 0.2000E+7 for example, sort -n will not worry about the E+7 part, and will just sort the numbers like 0.2000.

slapo-valsort
SLAPO-VALSORT(5) File Formats Manual SLAPO-VALSORT(5)
NAME
slapo-valsort - Value Sorting overlay to slapd
SYNOPSIS
/etc/openldap/slapd.conf
DESCRIPTION
The Value Sorting overlay can be used with a backend database to sort the values of specific multi-valued attributes within a subtree. The
sorting occurs whenever the attributes are returned in a search response.
Sorting can be specified in ascending or descending order, using either numeric or alphanumeric sort methods. Additionally, a "weighted"
sort can be specified, which uses a numeric weight prepended to the attribute values. The weighted sort is always performed in ascending
order, but may be combined with the other methods for values that all have equal weights. The weight is specified by prepending an integer
weight {<weight>} in front of each value of the attribute for which weighted sorting is desired. This weighting factor is stripped off and
not returned in search results unless the valsort control is specified (1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.5.14).
The valsort control requires a value consisting of a Sequence that contains a boolean flag. The weighting factor is only returned if the
boolean value is TRUE. In lber-encode(3) format, the required value must conform to "{b}" syntax.
CONFIGURATION
These slapd.conf options apply to the Value Sorting overlay. They should appear after the overlay directive.
valsort-attr <attribute> <baseDN> (<sort-method> | weighted [<sort-method>])
Configure a sorting method for the specified attribute in the subtree rooted at baseDN. The sort-method may be one of alpha-ascend,
alpha-descend, numeric-ascend, or numeric-descend. If the special weighted method is specified, a secondary sort-method may also be
specified. It is an error to specify an alphanumeric sort-method for an attribute with Integer or NumericString syntax, and it is an
error to specify a numeric sort-method for an attribute with a syntax other than Integer or NumericString.
EXAMPLES
database bdb
suffix dc=example,dc=com
...
overlay valsort
valsort-attr member ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com alpha-ascend
To invoke ldapsearch(1) with the valsort control, the control value must be set appropriately. The following octets represent the desired
"{b}" encoding:
0x30 0x03 0x01 0x01 0xff
The control can be sent from the command-line using the base64 encoding of the value:
ldapsearch -E 1.3.6.1.4.1.4203.666.5.14=::MAMBAf8=
