Because within apache, you can't necessarily guarantees strict chronological order of log entries.  If, for example, php takes a couple of seconds to run, the request could come a couple of seconds before the log entry is written

Is it possible that everyone misunderstood your question? You want to sort the *content* of the log files, so the content is in chronological order?

Precisely so.

I do not see much value in this.

My client requires it, so there is value for him :)

But you may try mergelog for this purpose. http://mergelog.sourceforge.net/

I'll check it out.
