Just friday I've had a discussion with a colleague about filenames.

We do a lot of computer vision and in his project, each processed object is assigned a UUID and he wanted to save images to files for each one.

So we took some time to go over various timestamp formats to be embedded into the filename to make the files sort chronologically. UUIDv7 is just spot-on solving our problem. In this use case, there are no real security considerations.
