Version 6 UUID

Version 6 UUIDs are a modern revision based on Version 1. They still use timestamps and node information but are rearranged to improve their sortability. This makes them more suitable for database and indexing use cases, where a natural time-based ordering can optimize performance. By placing the timestamp in the most significant bits, Version 6 UUIDs allow for more efficient data insertion and retrieval in ordered data structures. This version aims to balance the need for temporal ordering and unique node identification while mitigating some privacy concerns by obfuscating the exact node data more effectively.
