    I did qualify that it was in my experience. Could be they are being converted to strings before being sorted.

    That's fine, I'm not posting to prove you wrong 🙂 more for the other readers of this thread, and SQL_Enthusiast is particular. I do wonder why anyone would covert a 16-byte uuid to a 36-character string though.

    I do, lack of knowledge.
