Apache access log entries are out of order

Can someone explain the reason why one of my application's apache log has entries out of sequence? There can be up to a two minute difference.

12:42:40 ....
12:40:02 .... this request timestamp is in the past?
12:42:57 ....

Is the time record the incoming time of the request and if the request takes two minutes and mod_logconfig writes the entry and status when the request is completed (two minutes later)? If another request came in after but completes before is the log entry being written before the earlier request?

Is this what is happening?

I guess the log entry isn't written until it has been completed... as it has to record the status code too.
