I'm not very with the DirectorySearcher class, so I'm not sure if you
are expecting the results from the FindAll() method to be already sorted
or not, but in any case you have several options, including:

- sort the strings you get using a SortedList - if you create your
SortedList instance using "new SortedList( null)", then the strings you
add into the sorted list will be compared using the String class'
CompareTo() method which uses the current culture information to perform
the comparison.

So as long as you set the current culture to the user's culture, just
drop the strings you want sorted into the SortedList, and you're there.

See this for more information:

Thanks alot, but I have tried this and it doesn't work.

The regional settings on the server are swedish but those on the DC are english, could it be this?

Yes. The sortorder is determined by the server running the AD service.
