This is covered in the FAQ...

"I have noticed that the record numbers are reversed in the log. In  
other words, my first QSO has been numbered as last number, and there  
is no record number "0001". is this OK ?
Yes, the first record in the file is the header and of no practical  
use except when editing log.dat in a spread sheet program. The record  
numbers are not important, they are not stored in the file. They  
describe the order of the records in the file, but you can display the  
log sorted by any field. Click on the column header to sort by that  
field, click again to reverse the order. Most commonly people sort by  
the QSO start time. By default the log is arranged in order of QSO  
with the last QSO being added to the end of the file. Every time the  
log is re-written it will be written in the order that you have chosen  
to sort it in. The log is re-written when you delete an entry."
