Note. You cant compare ULID with UUID's

  - An ulid is "sortable". But the whole point of an UUID is a random unique ID. Non guessable. Sortable is not a feature 
    you normally want from an uuid. And still UUIDs are still sortable. But it doesnt have any meaning. 
  - An ulid also encodes Time, an uuid doesn't. 
  - An uuid has less change of clashing: Its 128 bit vs 80 bit for ulid.
  - An uuid is also url safe.
  - An ulid is case insensitive. I don't see how this is an advantage.
