Thanks !!! I did it last night and so far the issue has went away. Other things have been temporary before but thank you for sharing !!
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see that your iMessage contacts appear out of order. Let's look into this together.
First, make sure your iPhone has been updated to the latest iOS version -- Update the iOS on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If the issue persists after updating, the following information may help isolate the issue further:
1. Does this happen with multiple iMessage conversations?
2. Do you have Date & Time set to Automatic under Settings > General > Date & Time?
3. Do you see a red exclamation mark or "Not Delivered" alert under any of the messages you send?
Cheers.
On Mac if you log out of iMessage, and then switch off Mac. Then re log it. It goes away

I have an I-Phone 6. All I did was turn my cell phone completely Off for a few seconds, then back on, and this problem was cured!
I am having the same issue along with my friend. We both have iPhone 6 Plus with iOS 11.2.1.
Turning on/off the time zone didn't work. Fixed it for a week, but now the issue is back for me.
I'm having the same issue. It's happening on all of my text threads.
Please look at my previous post explaining how to correct the problem. It works!! Cougarwoman
This did not work for me. Problem continues
Updated to iOS 11.2.2 and this corrected my issue
Mine too, for 2 weeks, between ALL imessages. It started doing this in facebook messenger the other day but only once. How annoying.
Prepare to read 17 pages of, “Me too!”.
No answers. Why waste time posting that?
There is a “me too” button.
mr too
Apple censors my comment. Thanks apple!
Of course they do. You violated the terms are conditions of the forum. Do you think that you're special and you don't have to follow the rules like us common folk?
and my iOS software is up to date + my time is set to synch automatically. and now iCloud thinks I'm near Kansas City instead of Minneapolis. It must be b/c the Government shutdown. Obama's fault!
