Description

### Steps to reproduce

Sync issues when scrolling back to the previous day in messages. Messages end up out of order with messages from this morning (05:54 in the screenshot) followed by messages from 14 Feb.

Restarting the app temporarily corrects, but it has happened twice for me in the same room. I started seeing this in some other rooms today as well.

Our homeserver’s connectivity has been intermittent over the past couple of weeks, not sure if the disconnected states are contributing.

### Outcome

#### What did you expect?

Messages to be correctly sorted in chronological order.

#### What happened instead?

Some messages, whilst the date/time of the message are correct, appear out of order. Messages for today appear before messages for previous days (even though the app knows the messages dates)
