  The history should be sorted by HEAD => parent => parent, not by date.

  Can you show me an example where the commits in the web view do not match the `git log` output? Thanks!

  Yes I can show you an examply.

  I already had attached a screenshot from github showing the commits out of order. Now I've also attached the output from `git log` where you can see the order of commits from the log output does not match what is on GitHub.

  GitHub orders them by date instead of commit parents

  Sorry, I meant I need a URL to investigate. Thanks!

  Here is the URL to github

  Does it display differently when you run 'git log'? By default git log will display commits in reverse chronological order by commit date, so if you want to fix that, you'll likely have to rebase their commits (so you are the committer and they stay the author). Otherwise, I'm fairly certain that is the correct output. There are flags you can send to git-log to make it walk the commit DAG topologically, but it does not do that by default. (though I've never had commit dates off by that much before). But again, rebasing is likely the easiest option if there are not too many clones around.

  It does display differently on GitHub than it does when I run a git log.

  git log displays it in the actual order the commits where processed (regardless of system date at time of commit - meaning if follows the parent paths) but github seems to be sorting them via date on the actual commit message??

  You can see the difference in the 2 image files I attached. The first is how github shows it and the 2nd is how my git log shows it.

  Nothing major that is screwing me up development-wise, I just was a bit baffled at first because it appeared my commits werent being pushed to github properly when in fact they were, they were just a page back in chronological order.

  I know you guys are on this, but here's another screenshot showing the problem between the github view and git log:
