No, the official rule is to re-roll ties.

The unofficial trick for making that fast is to roll a bunch of dice. For example, each side rolls three dice at once for initiative, and you use them left-to-right, or in pre-agreed order by color, or using a dice-roller program that lists them in order.

example:

Player A rolls 3, 4, 1
Player B rolls 3, 4, 4

So they tied the first two rolls but B won the third, and since they rolled 3 dice at once, it only takes one roll to determine that. The chance of tying 3 rolls in a row is 1 in 216, so it will hardly ever happen.
