system-wide unique incrementing string or number

[Skaperen]

suppose i get a few of these and put them in a list in the order i get them. is this order the same order as sorted? that is, will thelist == sorted(thelist) be True?

[Yoriz]

It's easy to test

import random
import uuid

the_list = [uuid.uuid1() for _ in range(10)]
print(the_list == sorted(the_list))
the_copy = the_list[:]
print(the_copy == the_list)
random.shuffle(the_copy)
print(the_copy == the_list)
the_sorted = sorted(the_copy)
print(the_sorted == the_list)

Output:
True
True
False
True
