Not necessarily. If a partial open is done, then things might end up in a
different order since they may be read in differently (or not at all) over
the course of an edit session. Or, if interobject relationships are changed
by editing, then the next time the drawing is opened the objects might be
read in in a different order - we do a recursive read in for dependent
objects.
Also, the values in AcDbObjectIds (which are what are being compared by the
< > operators) are memory addresses, so if the memory manager that was used
to allocate the memory for those addresses happens to reuse memory blocks,
it's possible to end up with the memory addresses out of order.
And lastly, if any of the objects are in xrefs, then you can end up working
with forwarded ids which can also end up out of order.

Mr. Cooney, can you put some light on this?
The ids are different, that's for sure. But will they always be in the same
order?

When I sort my AcDbObjectIdArray using < operator, and next display a handle
of every Id in the array, everything looks fine. I can do it milon times,
and still everything is fine. So in my opinon there is no difference to sort
this array using < operator or its handles. Every way direct us to this same
result.
Thanks

No!!!
ObjectIds are different for each drawing session.
I believe the value depends on the order they are filed. Not created.
