Is it possible that everyone misunderstood your question?
You want to sort the *content* of the log files, so the content is in 
chronological order?
I do not see much value in this. Commonly used log reporting tools are 
able to cope with limited "displacements" in time. I don't know anybody 
who cares about that.
But you may try mergelog for this purpose.
