I only have a few users on my machine. What I do is, use useradd or
what not to create the users in the same order as the UID. Copy over
the home dirs, moving the newlly created ones elsewhere. Then copy and
paste the crypted password in the shadow file.
You could paste the users from /etc/passwd shadow and group if you
have a lot of users instead of creating the accounts.
