= Time-based UUID reordering

A utility to reorder the timestamp bits in an https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4122#section-4.1.2[RFC 4122 version 1 (time-based UUID)] from the standard middle-endian to sort-friendly big-endian.

From version 1.2.0, this library has basic interoperability with the proposed https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-peabody-dispatch-new-uuid-format-04#section-5.1[version 6], which has an identical packing for and semantics for the timestamp fields.
