yes, by ID and by timestamp, I can't think of any exceptions.
What ID exactly?
update: Event data downloaded from Movebank are ordered by tag_id, deploy_on_timestamp, deployment_id, and by timestamp within each of those groups. The tag_id and deployment_id are internal database identifiers rather than user-assigned identifiers, so it's not very useful. If you have suggestions of other ordering that would work well for DwC processing, let me know and I can discuss possible updates with our team.
Ok, good. Most important aspect is that records are sorted chronologically by timestamp within those groups, so we don't have to resort when transforming for DwC (see e0909dd).
@sarahcd can we assume that sensor data exported from Movebank are always sorted by timestamp? This would cut down on processing for Darwin Core.
