IMessages out of order?

I'm pretty sure iOS 11.3 fixed this. May I ask what version of iOS you're on? That might be the answer to your problem.
I've noticed the issue dissipating on High Sierra since upgrading to 10.13.4, but a relative of mine still said she was getting messages out of order on her iPad despite updating. I'm convinced part of it is a server issue that no matter of update is going to resolve, it has to be fixed on Apple's end.
The good news though is that I've been seeing the problem less and less lately, so there's that.

I wonder if having iMessages go to High Sierra affects it
I don't have this issue but I'm on 11.1.2 AND I don't use messages app on my Mac
It's possible, the experience had been wildly random for me, but it seemed to clear up on my iOS devices first before it finally started to clear up on High Sierra.
Are you guys clearing old messages and starting a new message and still happens?
I’m assuming so
I’m also so thankful 11.1.2 doesn’t seem to have this problem after a handful of
Months of testing by being on it.
That would bug the crap out of me !!
iMessage is one of apple’s strengths too
As far as I have seen so far, the problem seems to have gone.... but I said that before, so I'm not holding my breath!
Still experiencing this on 11.4, as well as duplicates when long pressing on the notifications.
I have to say that since my last post (April 16th), I've not come across the issue again. It's possible I've just been lucky in that messages haven't been sent/received in sufficiently quick succession to give rise to the problem... but I think I've had a few rapid-fire conversations over imessage which would have shown it up if it were still there.
And I'm still on 11.3.x... gonna bite the bullet for 11.4 now anyway, though... especially since it claims to have AirPlay2!

Oh dear! Yesterday, I used Siri to send an imessage, while I was driving... I noticed when I got home, that my message, plus the two automated "do not disturb" messages sent as a result of the response appear AFTER the reply and the "urgent" used by the sender to break through the DND mode.
So... I had not seen the problem since my last post back in May, but now it has appeared again...
I'll look for an alternative thread, or create one, but this seems to have coincided with my (apple approved, I believe) Philips clock radio lightning dock now refusing to charge my iPhone 7.... just happened last night. I doubt this is related... but you never know.
Anyone else still getting / or getting again the imessage out of order problem this thread has been all about?
Roll on iOS 12... maybe???? :~)

I have to say... I've not had the problem again, since my last post on the subject.
But... have just updated to iOS 12... so we'll see, I guess!
One quick troubleshooting step that can fix problems with iMessage is turning iMessage off and back on. 8 Ball Pool Think of it like restarting your iPhone — it’ll give iMessage a fresh start! Google Hangouts
Open up the Settings app and tap Messages. Omegle Then, tap the switch next to iMessage at the top of the screen. You’ll know iMessage is off when the switch is positioned to the left.

From another thread post of mine:
Ran into an iMessage bug (8+)
Other times it works based on last message, sent or received.
I have tried the turn off/on iMessage. No joy.
