Analog applies the FILEALIAS after it has determined that the chunk of
data is a 'FILE' and before it puts it into the 'FILE' table. That way
all FILEALIASed items that end up with the same name only increment
the count of the item rather than adding new entries into the table.
Sort order is done at report creation time. I'm fairly certain that
the File Type report is built from post-aliased requests, but I
haven't tested that specifically (that I recall).

You could start a new instance of Analog against each munged file and
make a cache file of the results. Then produce your daily, weekly,
monthly reports from the cache files.
Analog's only external processing command is 'UNCOMPRESS.' This could
be used to preprocess the log files by making a more complicated
command. e.g.
UNCOMPRESS *.gz (gzip -cd | perl -pe 's/;[j\$]sessionid[=\$][^\?]+//')
This would uncompress the file, pipe it to the Perl one-liner and
Analog would pick up the results.
