Aren't fb user IDs assigned as increasing numbers? You could probably just decide on a cut-off user ID and treat all lower numbers as "older".

They are increasing within any one user database, but there are many of these databases. So useridA < useridB only implies B is newer than A if dbid(useridA) == dbid(useridB).
