Yes, exactly.  For normal cases it should not matter.

I was wondering if the current --date-order shows commits in an
order that end-users find unnatural in a branchy history with many
commits that have wrong commit dates, and if so, tweaking the
date-order to instead use the corrected commit date may help and if
so how much.

Thanks.
