I'm a little confused on when I should be using TimeUUID vs Epoch/Long when I want columns ordered by time. I know it sounds strange and the obvious choice should be TimeUUID but I'm not sure why that would be preferred over just using the Epoch stamp?

The pretty much seem to accomplish the same thing however when using Epoch I can easily use a start/end range for querying across times. Can this be accomplished using TimeUUID?

Would someone also explain how TimeUUID is actually sorted? Im confused on how its actually compared. Thanks!
