      User story

      When fetching and ranking ext. tasks by priority, I want to use the creation time of the task as a secondary sorting. This ensures that no external tasks starve in high load situations. The engine has already a similar feature for job execution: https://docs.camunda.org/manual/7.14/user-guide/process-engine/the-job-executor/#the-job-order-of-job-acquisition 

      Functional Requirements (Required before implementation):

      • For the fetch and lock request (Java and REST API), there is a new parameter to toggle ordering by creation time
      • If priority is also used, the creation time ordering is the secondary ordering
      • If priority is not used, the creation time ordering is the primary ordering
      • If the creation time parameter is not set, the behavior is the same as it is now (i.e. undefined with respect to creation time)

      Technical Requirements (Required before implementation):

      Limitations of Scope (Optional):
