Description
Description
If i have the initialScrollIndex set and the list is not bigger than the view (they all fit) then the items before initialScrollIndex will not render , it only works if i set disableVirtualization={true} but the order on how they are rendered doesnt seem right , for example if i have 8 items (and they all fit in the view) and i have set initialScrollIndex to 6th item with disableVirtualization={true} it will render 6 - 7 item first then the 0 to 5, if i dont disable it then it will only render item 6 and 7, if i have more items than they can fit in the view then it seems to work as expected.
Steps to reproduce
Set initialScrollIndex to any item excluding first one on a list that fits to the view.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Android case described: a React Native FlatList whose items fit in the view and whose initialScrollIndex is not zero. Compare rendering with and without disableVirtualization; done means items before the initial index render in the correct order without disabling virtualization.
