Hm. Probably because you think these users will have direct file access?
Which in turn means they can edit *.conf directly too and don't need an
interface for that either.

The issue is _filtering_, not ordering. Since the log directory might be
directed to a different location, non-pgsql logfiles might be there too.
You'd probably won't expect to retrieve these files over a pgsql connection.
