CF10 Debugging & Logging > Log Files > coldfusion.log

Why do coldfusion-error.log and coldfusion-out.log display oldest to newest information? When reading the log you have to press Next to get current details and there is no skip or end option to get to the current details quickly (other than say reading it on the operating system).

The other CF10 logs (application, audit, http etc) correctly display recent entries first.

Regards, Carl.

I prefer command line tools like tail for viewing and monitoring logs.

Tail is available on Windows too, eg. in the Cygwin package coreutils.

Bump. I agree, they should add the ability to sort by date ASC and DESC. Or even just add a "Last >]" link to the end. It takes forever to get to the end of the log
