If you have transactions being canceled or undone out of order, there
is no way to avoid out-of-order ids, unless you do periodic reassignment
of the IDs, which rather defeats the purpose of them to begin with.

Proposing solutions to this problem is like trying to sleep with a blanket 
that's too short.

Take care,
