- trollbridge 2y agoThe reason I made ordering not matter is so that multiple peers don’t have to worry about keeping the exact same order when appending to each other’s logs. The log entries do have timestamps on them. You can sort by timestamp, but a peer has the right to append an new entry that’s older than the latest timestamp.
