Thanks, yes I would like the output sorted by increasing alphanumeric username as primary sort key, and increasing data & time as the secondary (I didn't find out until today that they want the time in addition to the date but it appears right after the date in the logs).

Unfortunately the script you wrote didn't quite work for my actual logs, however that might be because of the snippet I included. I should've included a better sample from the logs, showing that the date/time line up on the same space each entry so that might make it easier?

I don't know if maybe there is an easier way to do it, or whether awk is the way to go, so if anybody has a better suggestion I'm certainly open to it.

Code:
qtp111659197-5776 - 05-26@09:37:34:240 INFO  (TimingInfoProxy.java:41)     - com.mycompany.api.ApiHandler-0>getUniqueDataBySource(data,{"has_values":false,"last_event_triggered":"","user_info":{"username":"joe@mycompany.com","orgid":"d96467a7-9786-47e1-9c12-bb40f9bfc65d","ip":"127.0.0.1"},"date_range":{"min_date":"","start_date":"","end_date":"","trending_start_date":"","trending_end_date":""},"terms":{"and_filtering":[]}},)

Also, each entry actually is four lines long when you cat the log, rather than just a single line as it appears when I paste it into here.

SYSSTAT(5)							Linux User's Manual							SYSSTAT(5)

NAME

       sysstat - sysstat configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       This  file is read by sa1(8) and sa2(8) shell scripts from the sysstat's set of tools.  It consists of a sequence of shell variable assign-
       ments used to configure sysstat logging.  The variables and their meanings are:

       HISTORY
	      The number of days during which a daily data file or a report should be kept. Data files or reports older than this number  of  days
	      will be removed by the sa2(8) shell script.

       COMPRESSAFTER
	      Number of days after which daily data files are to be compressed, either by gzip or bzip2.

       SADC_OPTIONS
	      Options  that  should be passed to sadc(8).  With these options (see sadc(8) manual page), you can select some additional data which
	      are going to be saved in daily data files.  These options are used only when a new data file is created. They will be  ignored  with
	      an already existing one.

FILES

       /etc/sysconfig/sysstat
