I see. Sorry, I misunderstood the case under discussion.
If the displayed commits are already ordered by parent-commit relationships,
then displaying commits in that order regardless of timestamp makes sense,
of course.
Sorting commits by timestamp only matters when parallel commits from
distinct branches need to be sorted into a single list for display (as
opposed to drawing a graph).
