What Makes Version 6 UUIDs Special?
Version 6 UUIDs are similar to Version 1 UUIDs but with one key difference: the timestamp is ordered from the most significant to the least significant bits. This allows UUIDs to be sorted in chronological order simply by their value. It’s particularly useful for databases or systems where the order of creation matters.
Version 6 still incorporates the MAC address and clock sequence, ensuring that UUIDs remain unique while offering the added advantage of easy sorting by creation time.
If you're looking for more flexibility or don’t need the ordered nature of Version 6 UUIDs, you might want to explore our Version 1 UUID generator, which is another reliable option for unique identifiers.
