Options to have git log presents commits of a non linear history in a meaningful order

Am I right by default, git log present commits of a non linear history in a meaningles order? Am I right git log has options, such as --graph, to get the order of commits presented in a more meaningful way?

As of git 2.45.0, gittutorial states 
    
   The git log command has a weakness: it must present commits in
   a list. When the history has lines of development that
   diverged and then merged back together, the order in which git
   log presents those commits is meaningless.

Is it accurate?
