If you’re an edge case you’re an edge case. It’s frustrating when people start assuming their use case is normal without any considerations of the wider world. Sub millisecond precision sorting of high speed database inserts is hardly a normal requirement. At that point even the size of your transaction can matter (depending on the database) and you have to start asking questions like do I want ordering by the time the transaction starts or the time it ends? And if your loading existing data from other sources and care about date ordering you should just be using the a dedicated column with the database appropriate time/date time/time stamp field anyway.
