How can Instagram Media Id's be compared?

Here is an example of an Instagram Media Id: 908991138574797936_536823746

If there were two of these ids and I wanted to find out which one was greater than the other how would I go about doing that?

Thanks!

Solution

  • It is probably an arbitrary value they assign. I wouldn't assume anything about what a comparison between two of them means. On the other hand, the created_time field would be useful for comparison.
