These time range queries using UUIDs are super useful. I don't understand why it took so long for UUIDv7 to become a standard. Even MongoDB had to use something custom (ObjectID) rather than UUID because this standard didn't exist.

My understanding is UUIDv6 can also be sorted lexically as it also uses a timestamp (v1 has improper endianness for sorting).
