Apache logs are not sorted by time.  That is just a fact, not a bug.=20
The time is calculated when the request is received but the log line
is written after the response is sent.  You can easily sort them
yourself after-the-fact if you need time-sorted logs.  Otherwise,
there is no "solution" that doesn't involve recompiling.
