The -n flag on the sort command sorts by numeric rather than by character. It works on my box (Linux/Gentoo) Then again, I don't have anything beyond double digits in the test log. This line can be added to a script, such as script/analyze_logs for convenience. -Q

This is cool but doesn't sort exactly right - it only sorts by the first digit in the completion time - report actions taking in the double digits don't fall in line. I guess that's motivation to get all actions in the single digits :)
