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.
11.2.6
It is not usefull. Mine is the most updated but it is still not in order, timeline. Answers are always shown before questions.
Good news. I am on 11.3 beta 3 release and it seems to have fixed the out of order issue. Day 4 and all is still in order. First time I have not dealt with this since 11.2.1.
iOS11.2.6
Very annoying
The issue still occurs on 11.2.6
I don't know how Apple develop other complicated solutions, when simple stuff like sorting messages by timestamp makes them trouble.
This is so annoying! I tried all solutions but none of them work. They need to fix this
Your solution worked for me for about 2 weeks. Then I had to do it again. Maybe it’ll stick this time.
I also have the same issue and now it is March.
Solbes by closing the chat and re-open though...
This did seem to work but I’ve only tried it with one conve
Having the same issue. I have latest update and no resolution yet. Don’t know what is stopping apple from fixing this issue.
I am having the same problem how can I fix it?
On the new update, 10.13.3, I am still having the same issue.
This annoying issue has been happening to me since late-Dec 2017 and just started happening to my wife. Apple is really disappointing lately and needs to fix this and overall get their sh*t together.
For me, both iOS 11.2.5 and 11.2.6 don’t work. I have got an iPhone 6S with a battery to change this year
