Text messages are not in order and I am not getting notified of new text messages

Just updated to iOs 11 last night. This morning my settings are all undone. The one that has me stumped is that my text messages are totally out of order. Any of my texts for a conversation are all lumped together at the bottom with all the replies above. It is confusing to read! I am also not getting alerted that I have new texts. Any suggestions?

iPhone 6s, iOS 11

I encountered this problem after updating to iOS 11.2 on an iPhone 6. Only with iMessage. What seems to have worked thus far: turn off iMessage. Turn on airplane mode. Power off. Wait a few minutes. Power back on. Turn airplane mode off. Send a few messages as plain text messages. Verify those are working correctly. Turn iMessage back on. Again, send messages to see if it is working properly again. So far so good for me.
