I have learned that I can safely compare 2 long integer strings without
any problem. Is comparing Snowflake direct message id's in the manner
described safe?

Hello all,
I have an non-browser xAuth client written in Javascript. I am in
the process of changing up the codebase to use id_str in anticipation
of Snowflake. One popular design decision we have made is to
interleave sent and received direct messages into one unified list.
Currently, we sort by message ID to figure out which message comes
before the other. Since JS cannot parse the new 64bit integers, we can
no longer do this. The only way I see to do this under Snowflake is to
sort based on created_at, is that a valid approach? Is there a better
way to approach this problem?
Thank you,
Jim Cortez
