The documentation says: --date-order Show no parents before all of its children are shown, but otherwise show commits in the commit timestamp order. In your example, one commit is the parent of the other, so it hits the first part of the sentence, and the dates are never even compared. There is not a simple way to show commits in arbitrary order without respect to parentage. I think you'd have to do something like: git log --format='%at %H' | sort -rn | cut -d' ' -f2 | git log --stdin --no-walk -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line unsubscribe git in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

Yes please :) --date=lc --date=lc_time --date=locale all spring to mind as valid options *** git log --date-order and --author-date-order do not order by date Correct.

In your example, one commit is the parent of the other, so it hits the first part of the sentence, and the dates are never even compared. That is what I gathered, and concluded that the option name is misleading There is not a simple way to show commits in arbitrary order without respect to parentage.
