About UUID

Version 1 (UUIDv1)

Version 1 UUID is generated from time and node ID (usually MAC address). Version 1 UUID can be sorted chronologically because they include the time information at the time of generation.

Version 4 (UUIDv4)

Version 4 UUID is generated from a completely random sequence of bits. This version of UUID is based on random numbers at the time of generation and does not include time information.
UUIDv4 is sometimes equated with GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) because the basic concept is the same.
