I was referring to the logs in the archive folder specified when WAL
archiving is turned on...not the pg_xlog folder.

I assume postgres will not use the logs in the archive folder

But note that the order it creates them in doesn't have much meaning,
because it can re-use them. So if you want to know anything about actual
