Hi Ulrich,
that is not the only use of the ordered values. It is also used to order
siblings (e.g. children of "olcDatabase={0}config,cn=config" here).

One last time: RDN of "olcOverlay={1}accesslog" implies "{1}accesslog"
(exactly!) needs to be a value of the "olcOverlay" attribute because
the LDAP object model says so. The implication goes one way. The end.
