I want to find the most recent entry, or all entries after a given date/time
using the EventLog class. Do I have to iterate through all entries, or are
they sorted so I can start from index 0 and just iterate until the entry
date is older than a given date?

Why don't you test it out by writing a small app that reads entries from
the EventLog and writes the DateTime as well...

Becuase I'm not sure if some setting in windows can alter the sort. Can i
really on the eventlog giving me back the records always in the same order?
