How to troubleshoot iMessage on Mac mixing up arrangement of messages?

I am currently having a problem where iMessage on my mac will track my incoming and outgoing messages in order that they are sent and recieved, only if I am sending them from my Mac. But if I open iMessage to look at past conversations, my messages are all out of order. Replies to messages I have sent first appear after the original message, my messages are all grouped and all replies from reciepients are grouped and don't give any flow of conversation, etc. If anyone else has had this problem and found a fix to sync all of my conversations onto my Mac from conversations had on my iPhone in order this would be great. Quitting iMessage and reopening did not fix the issue.
