      When you go to System Logs and click on Routing, the sort option by default is time and it's sorted by recent. If you by chance click a different field to sort and come back to time, you will never get it to most recent. The sort order messes up.

        @PragmaticOcean You’d be better off forwarding them to a syslog server if you have one.

        I forward mine to a Synology NAS, viewing them / extracting what you require is much easier.

          The default syslog format doesn't sort well when sorted as a string like that.

          If you change your syslog format to RFC 5424 then it should sort better. That setting is under Status > System Logs on the Settings tab. It's the first option there, Log Message Format.
