Are Parse IDs deterministic?

Question

I know that in Mongo, when you create IDs, the IDs are created in part by a time element which can be nice for sorting without using any other keys like createdAt or updatedAt. Is the same true for IDs created in Parse?

Answer 1

Parse-server doesn't use deterministic IDs for the object but 10 characters random strings (which can be configured on your side also if you wish to have longer objectIds)
