chronological order of messages in groups about watoi HOT 4 OPEN

Does the message timestamp reflect real group creation time or activation time of the app on new device?

the real time of the creation. So I have newer messages and then it says "you created this group" with a date of years ago as the most recent message.

Whatsapp does not rely on timestamps, stored in messages, but uses a sort field instead. The issue is that I've assumed that all messages, already present in ChatStorage.sqlite (1) , are more recent that ones from the android db (2), which is still valid for normal messages. So I did a simple reordering to put (2) behind (1). Reordering is required, by the way. We have two options here to mitigate the issue with "chat created" type of messages:

• Reorder all messages not based on sort field, but on timestamp
• Ignore system messages when fixing sort field of (1)

I consider this issue to be a minor inconvenience, though. Accepting PRs. :)

I'll start looking into it :)
