Based of Ordinal Identifiers
When ordinal identifiers alone can make an object unique then why they are not given top priority? Why it is first mandatory and next assitive. Why we cannot go for ordinal identifiers directly?

At the same time if the object are having the child objects it will give the sam location id. So when you run the script it may get fail some times.
