I can't say I've seen any suggestion that you shouldn't use the 
collection time.

Only that you need to fix your systems so that updates don't get 
processed out of order. It seems to me (from what you've said) that 
you could fix that by increasing the granularity of your batch file 
queuing system to include sub-second timing detail.
