How to get git log --oneline --graph with chronological commits/merges between branches?

For now I have the following alias (found somewhere on the internet):

[alias]
  lg = log --graph --abbrev-commit --decorate --date=relative --format=format:'%C(bold blue)%h%C(reset) - %C(bold green)(%ar)%C(reset) %C(white)%s%C(reset) %C(dim white)- %an%C(reset)%C(bold yellow)%d%C(reset)' --all

but this will produce something like that in my repo:

* a18c363 - (2 weeks ago) Fix | Changed sed separator - Patryk (wierd_branch)
* 7c6ddd8 - (2 weeks ago) Feature  - Patryk 
* 2bd909b - (2 weeks ago) Fix | This was not supposed to be there.... - Patryk 
* a99f925 - (2 weeks ago) Feature | Added  - Patryk 
| * ed2da1d - (45 minutes ago) Feature | Added - S (origin/master, origin/HEAD)
| * d580796 - (2 hours ago) Fix | Tag - W 
| * e0b1611 - (2 hours ago) Fix - S
| * 8588818 - (2 weeks ago) Documentation | Incremented documentation version - X
|/  
* 05ff79b - (2 weeks ago) Fix | changed structure - M

But as you can see this is not chronological - namely, the branches give straight lines instead of showing that the commits in e.g. 2 branches have happened chronologically (e.g. ed2da1d should be on the top of the log).

How can I make that chronological? (for instance GitLab has some kind of this log that show chronological commits in multiple branches but in its web UI)

Going on the behavior it looks like giving an explicit date format lights --topo-order. That's weird, but explicitly giving --date-order fixes it for me.
