 **Production ready:**
 
-- ⚡ **84,000+ IDs/second** in batch operations
-- 🏃 **80,000+ inserts/second** with defaults
-- ⏰ **Time-ordered** - automatic chronological sorting
+- ⚡ **110,000+ IDs/second** - random nanoids (fastest, most secure)
+- 🏃 **84,000+ IDs/second** - sortable nanoids (when time-ordering needed)
+- 🔒 **Security-first** - random by default, sortable by choice
 - 💾 **Memory efficient** - streaming generation

-SELECT id FROM orders ORDER BY id;  -- Already chronological! 🎉

 ## 🤔 When to Use
 
-### ✅ Perfect for:
+### ✅ Use `nanoid()` (secure random) for:
 
 - **Public-facing IDs** (APIs, URLs, customer references)
-- **Multi-tenant applications**
+- **User-facing identifiers** (account IDs, order numbers)
+- **Multi-tenant applications** (tenant isolation)
 - **Distributed systems** (no coordination needed)
-- **Time-sensitive data** (natural chronological sorting)
+- **Any case where privacy matters**
 
-### ⚠️ Consider alternatives for:
+### ⚠️ Use `nanoid_sortable()` only when:
+
+- **Temporal ordering is essential** (audit logs, event streams)
+- **You need lexicographic time sorting** (without separate timestamp)
+- **Privacy trade-offs are acceptable** (internal systems only)
+- **Users won't see multiple IDs** (preventing pattern analysis)
+
+### ❌ Consider alternatives for:
 
 - **Internal foreign keys** (integers might be faster)
 - **Legacy system integration** (if systems expect UUIDs)
+- **High-security contexts** (consider longer random IDs)

- * A PostgreSQL implementation of sortable nanoids that maintain lexicographic

+ * A PostgreSQL implementation of nanoids with dual functions:
+ * - nanoid(): Purely random, secure IDs (recommended default)
+ * - nanoid_sortable(): Time-ordered IDs (use only when sorting is essential)
  * 
  * Features:
- * - Lexicographically sortable by creation time
- * - URL-safe characters using nanoid alphabet
+ * - Cryptographically secure random generation
+ * - URL-safe characters using nanoid alphabet  
  * - Prefix support (e.g., 'cus_', 'ord_')
- * - Cryptographically secure random component
  * - High performance optimized for batch generation
+ * - Optional lexicographic time ordering (with security trade-offs)
+ * 
+ * Security Note: nanoid_sortable() embeds timestamps which can leak business
