@mborus just don't mix UUID4 & UUID7 in the same data or you'll end up with old data randomly interleaved within new (nicely sorted) data.
I have UUIDs on a Django app that I can't update and switching over now won't do me any good.

@treyhunner Thanks for the warning. My uuid4 use case is mostly session logging and debugging. Most of the uuid4 data also has an expiry timestamp, in those scenarios I will probably switch anyway because the old data will go away after a month or so. As long as uuid4 and uuid7 don't clash I should be fine.
