Sorting by `id` is no longer possible to sort by chronological order in Strapi 5#

In Strapi 5, sorting by id to sort by chronological order is no longer possible since documents use an uuid.

Breaking change description#

In Strapi v4

In Strapi v4, using the Entity Service API, you could do the following to sort entries by chronological order:

strapi.entityService.findMany('api::article.article', {
  sort: 'id',
});

In Strapi 5

In Strapi 5, use the Document Service API to sort documents by chronological order, use the createdAt field:

strapi.documentService.findMany('api::article.article', {
  sort: 'createdAt',
});

No manual procedure should be required as this will be handled by a codemod.
