Bug description
Ever since a few updates ago, seeing your own Signal stories showed that Signal stories were no longer ordered by the time they were posted, but instead, it seemed to follow an order of media first and then text. More recently, this is now affecting Signal stories as a whole.

Research direction
Reproduce the ordering problem in Signal stories using the reported moto g84, Android 16 QPR2, and Signal 8.24.2 setup, then review the linked debug log for relevant story-ordering evidence. Done means stories are ordered by their posting time rather than by media and text type.
