The test should do a set comparison, not an ordered list comparison, if it wants to check that the same 5 accounts were returned by the API. I think it's as simple as that.

The blogpost is interesting and I appreciated learning the details of how the UUIDv7 implementation works.

Don’t you think that depends on what you’re guaranteeing in your api? If you’re guaranteeing that your api returns the accounts ordered you need to test for that. But I do agree in general that using a set is the correct move.

The test is a very strange example indeed. Is it testing the backend, the database or both? If the api was guaranteeing ordered values, pre-uuid7 the backend must have sorted them by other means before returning, making the test identical. If the backend is not guaranteeing order, that shouldn't be tested either.
