So they're purposefully reversed? That's silly. Just about every other log format uses top-to-bottom and no one complains about it being too hard to find anything. I don't think it'd be hard at all to find anything in logs if they were more properly organized(hence my suggestion with XML).

Files will still be saved offline, and most of the time, XML file extension is assigned to a web-browser, which usually interprets it in a somewhat pretty fashion.

Sounds good.
