        Convert a time-ordered UUID to a time-based UUID.
        Parameters:
        uuid - a UUID
        Returns:
        another UUID
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the input is not a time-ordered UUID

      • toTimeOrderedUuid

        public static UUID toTimeOrderedUuid​(UUID uuid)
        Convert a time-based UUID to a time-ordered UUID.
        Parameters:
        uuid - a UUID

      • toAndFromMsGuid

        public static UUID toAndFromMsGuid​(UUID uuid)
        Convert a UUID to and from a MS GUID. This method is only useful for MS SQL Server. It rearranges the most significant bytes from big-endian to little-endian, and vice-versa. The Microsoft GUID format stores the most significant bytes as little-endian, while the least significant bytes are stored as big-endian (network order).
        Parameters:
        uuid - a UUID
        Returns:
        another UUID
