There exists a proposal for "Version 6" UUIDs.
They are similar to RFC4122's time-based (version 1) UUIDs but the timestamp's bits are stored in standard byte order which make the UUIDs sortable using lexicographic order.
uuid v1: 9850ee54-fc18-11ea-adc1-0242ac120002
zzzzzzzz yyyy 1xxx
uuid v6: 1eafc189-850e-6e54-adc1-0242ac120002
xxxyyyyz zzzz 6zzz
Should we wait for the proposal to be accepted before implementing it?
