windows event viewer order by date time


I need to check events for debuging a service that has many events .

Windows event viewer sorts events by date time but there is a big problem. for example

event 1 time is 12:32:11

events 2 time is 12:32:11

events 3 time is also 12:32:11

event 2 is after event 1 and before event 3. but because they have same time in (HH:MM:SS) format , event viewer do not show order correclty. I think it shows logs with same time,alpahabetically or based on other parameters .

does event logging save millisecond for windows application logs?

if yes, Is there any way or any third party application to view events log really ordered by date and time when hour , minute and second are same?
