Description Philipp Hahn

The properties in the output of "udm $MODULE list" are not sorted, which makes it hard to find a specific one, as udm-cli does not provide a native display filter and "grep" is too complex when multiple entries are shown:

udm settings/extended_attribute list --filter name=objectFlag | sed -ne '/^DN:/,/^$/s/:.*//p;' | uniq

I stumble on this sometimes. This is why I avoid using UDM and use ldapsearch directly. One-line patch exists.

I think the identifies=True properties should be shown first.
