Fyi, the timestamp is already encoded inside uuid4. But for having a good distribution of values, the low bits half of the timestamp is stored before the high bits half.

Here uuidv7 will just re-order that. So the content of the uuid in itself does not change.




No, this was the case in earlier uuids. In v4, there is no timestamp.


Indeed you are right, just the other ones.
