Will anything bad happen if entries in the MediaWiki "logging" table are

Due to a bug, our logging table has incomplete data. I'd like to insert
the
missing data using a script.
However, the log_id column is auto-increment. This
means that when the
table is ordered by log_id,
the data will not be in chronological order by
log_timestamp.
Is that bad in any way?
Or are all applications (like Special:Log) expected to "order by
log_timestamp" rather than log_id?
Thanks,
Dan
