sort logfile by timestamp on linux command line

Question

I have a logfile with entries like:

...    
freeswitch.log:2011-09-08 12:21:07.282236 [ERR] ftdm_queue.c:136 Failed to enqueue obj 0x7f2cda3525c0 in queue 0x         


        

Answer 1

The log file seems ascending, you can

tac yourlogfile

which would reversely show your log file.
