Analog is fast and accurate because it is designed to do a single job, and to do it well. If you simply want to sort your log file by host name, and output 3 columns, you could write a 3 line batch file to do it (grep logfile for date/time range, discard unwanted columns, sort). Adding this functionality to Analog would simply cause bloat, because Analog would have to remember things that it currently doesn't have to, and it wouldn't be any faster than using a standalone utility to do the job, because there isn't any overlap with what Analog is already doing.
