Hi OZB'ers,
Hoping someone can help me with this issue.
Recently my iPhone 14 has started to sort my messages randomly and not newest to oldest. I have tried a few of the tips on Google like switching time zone off and on, disable iMessage off and on, but so far none of these have worked.
It does sort them based on my recent searches in Safari, e.g. if I search for a trailer on Google then any message that contains the word trailer will appear at the top.
Please help :)

If your iPhone 14 is playing hide-and-seek with your messages and sorting them randomly instead of by their proper order, don't worry—I've got some solutions for you! 📱🔍
Restore from a Backup:
Go to Settings ➡️ Apple ID (your name at the top) ➡️ iCloud ➡️ iCloud Backup ➡️ Back Up Now.
Navigate to Settings ➡️ Apple ID ➡️ iCloud ➡️ Find My iPhone, and turn off the switch (you'll need your Apple ID password).
Head to Settings ➡️ General ➡️ Reset ➡️ Erase All Content and Settings.
Adjust Date & Time Settings:
Remember to back up your iPhone before making any changes, just in case! 📥🔒
