Newly received iPhone messages show above sent messages

So this has been happening recently, I don’t know if it’s meant to be part of the update (iPhone 6 v.11.2.1) but whenever I get a notification of a message and then open the app, it will show up above the message I sent. I posted an example below of how the messages should have been shown. I sent my message right after 1 and when I exited the app, I got a notification of message 3 but it shows up above mine. Also, 4 should be the one at the bottom since they replied to me AFTER I responded back

Something that I found interesting is that my apple watch shows the iMessages in the correct order but my iPhone does not. I took the instructions of what worked from a previous post and it worked for me, which are:

1. Turn off set automatically under date/time

2. At this point I changed the time to one minute early

3. Turn on set automatically.

4. Restart iPhone

At this point, iMessages in the past were out of order, but all future ones were coming in correctly.

Hope this helps.

Settings correct. Not working. Solution....Buy an Android Phone. I've had it with all the updates that just cause more problems.

This is not the fix for the problem. My iPhone is set to automatic with the correct time and date. One of your recent updates has created a bug. please recognize it and fix it.

The same thing is happening with my new iPad Pro. All settings are correct and I up to date with the OS.

I’ve been having the issue the entire time too. I have an iPhone 7 that was newly replaced after my phone died just after the warranty ran out. Thankfully a manager at the Apple Store replaced it for free. The out of order text messaging is the only issue I’ve had with this new 7. It was only happening when messaging with one person, but now I’ve noticed it with another person. I’ve checked all the settings as well and that didn’t help at all.

Mine has also been doing this. It's very frustrating. I've noticed it in both my iPhone messages, but also on the messages app on my mac (running ios 11.2.1 and High Sierra, respectively). It's very annoying and is causing me to miss messages.
