TimeUUID (crux-util 1.0.46 API)

java.lang.Object
- com.fizzed.crux.util.TimeUUID

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<TimeUUID>
```
public class TimeUUID
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Comparable<TimeUUID>
```
A time-based UUID that is internally stored in a sortable/lexicographical byte ordering. It's outside appearance (e.g. toString()) is identical as java.util.UUID, but you can access its underlying byte array, and its natural ordering will be time ascending. Very useful for storing in databases as binary and then have it ordered as time ascending if in an indexed column.

    Compares this TimeUUID with the specified TimeUUID. Since a TimeUUID is already arranged in a sortable byte-order, this method simply compares timeBytes left to right.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<TimeUUID>
    
    Parameters:
    
    val - TimeUUID to which this TimeUUID is to be compared
    
    Returns:
    
    -1, 0 or 1 as this TimeUUID is less than, equal to, or greater than val
