Analog doesn't do that type of correlation. Analog does record the first
and last time that a particular user (sessionID) occurs, but not the
first or last URLs recorded (time and date records are a fixed size, but
URLs aren't, so the memory requirements for recording first and last
URLs could be quite prodigious).

If you want to look at the "track" of an individual user (or sessionID),
you can do a USERINCLUDE command, and then sort the Request Report by
time of first access, or time of last access, but that's only practical
on a user by user basis.
