Sequencing of event queue

[Yung. David]

Hello workflowers!  The question that I put to you today is regarding the
workings of the event queue.

We have seen in our Production environment that if the event queue has
filled up and is not being cleared completely by every job run but in fact
keeps on building up through time (as a result of a batch job that triggers
many workflows), the event delivery job will deliver the most recent events
instead of the oldest events.  

In other words, the event queue is behaving as a LIFO (Last In First Out)
queue instead of a FIFO (First In First Out) queue.  It was my understanding
that the queue should be FIFO.

Any comments?  Anybody else seen this happening?  Any solutions????

The sequencing is extremely important to some workflows that we have and
we'd like to see the queue behave as a FIFO queue.

Cheers

David
