Answer 1

The short answer is NO.

However, you have to understand what is ordering feature on PubSub. Pubsub is able to send message in order only on the same ordering-key. It's, in general, the case when you have message related to the same thing (for example to the same IoT device).

In the case of eventarc, that bases the PubSub message on the audit logs, what could be the ordering key? The account email? What would you like?
