You can specify logfile on command-line with +C"LOGFILE filename".
So you can write a shell script and use find, awk, etc. to get the
correct filename, and then call analog.
Something like
find /var/tmp/logs -name "*[0-9]" -print | \
awk 'BEGIN { FS="/" } { print $5 $6 $7 }' | \
sort -n
will print the file with greatest number last (warning: this is off
the top of my head and is probably not entirely correct).
