# Sort log entries

By default, log entries are sorted according to their creation time. You can alternatively sort log entries according to any other column heading.

##

Large numbers of logs can require significant resources to be sorted. The Log Analysis view can shorten your selected time range if your current Query matches too many records to be efficiently sorted.

Note: The Current Events view is always sorted according to entry creation time. Sorting can only use stored data, so any temporary data visible in the view is permanently lost if you change the sorting.
