Example

Description
Unfortunately, some web servers do not keep log files in
chronologically sorted order. That is, an individual log
file might contain entries for March 2nd before the entries
for March 1st.
When this occurs, the Wusage user interface will report the
problem and suggest the use of the Sort Log Files First (sortlogs) option.
New in Wusage 7.0, the Sort Log Files First (sortlogs) option instructs
the program to sort the entire set of log data before
attempting to analyze it. Sorting your log data
requires extra time and disk space. Please ensure that
you have enough space for a separate copy of your log
data in your temporary files directory. Do not turn on this
option unless you suspect your logs are not already sorted.
Important Note: if you have several
separate log files which do not overlap
in time, such as logs from mirror sites, you do
not need to use this option. This option
is only needed when individual log files are not internally
sorted in chronological order.
