380.68_0 RT-AC68U System log file sort order

Is it normal to have a corrupted sort order in a System Log file? I examined this log shortly after rebooting the system. I assume it sorts on date? The attached photo is just one example.

The day before I had downgraded the system from 380.68_2 to _0 due to problems with a manually assigned IP Grandstream HT702 VOIP ATA not being able to recover reliably after a cable modem WAN outage and recovery. Not sure if the downgrade causes the log file issue?

The log is just a flat file, entries are added as they get added, not sorted. What you are seeing is because the router's clock resets itself on a reboot, which is normal.
