iMessages are not in order received.

In iMessage on my Mac, the messages between myself and another are not in the order they were sent, is there a preference that I need to set?

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.2), iPad 2, iPhone4

Hi,


In Messages beta in Lion it was noticed that if you started a conversation on one device such as an iPhone then turned a computer On and launched Messages it would start to sync (Slowly) and at the same time it would put up new incoming Messages for your contact and therefore presenting them out of Sync.


On the basis a conversation on the iPhone could have been whilst you were at work it could be several hours worth of iMessages.


There did not seem to be a fix for this.


However in Messages in Mountain Lion the Sync process seemed to be a lot faster.

However we have just had the iPhone 5 release and iOS 6 Update which many have been waiting for tot sync iPhone Numbers as well as Apple IDs


There seem to be reports that people this the iMessages servers are currently slow.

I have not found a page that Apple posts this sort of info ON
