There is no guarantee that a commit with later LSN has a later
timestamp. There are cases where the clock could move significantly
backwards.

A robust solution to storing transaction commit information (including
commit order) in a way that can be referenced from other tables, can be
loaded to another cluster, and survives crashes would be a great
feature. But this feature doesn't have those properties.
