Because you are looking at the author date. The author date tells you
the date that the author created the commit. But that might be very
different from the date when the commit was pushed to the remote.
If you want to see the latter date you want the committed date. You
can see info on both the author and the committer by adding
"--pretty=fuller" (among other options) to "git log".
Generally git sorts by date committed, not date authored.
