Page-edit quirks

I have come across a strange recent edit that has been described here as: Scrambled list of prior revisions. Here is the edit I am referring to:https://simple.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Help_talk%3AContents&type=revision&diff=6562614&oldid=5699276 where the edit on the right seems to have occured before the edit on the left, reversing the normal order of revisions, I think? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 23:40, 4 July 2019 (UTC)

Ottawahitech, that's strange. When I look, the one on the left says 'Revision as of 14:06, 1 June 2017', and the one on the right (the change I made) says 'Latest revision as of 18:21, 31 May 2019'. Do they have different dates for you? BlackcurrantTea (talk) 01:37, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Looks normal to me. -DJSasso (talk) 12:07, 8 July 2019 (UTC)

Help me out here, please. When I look at the last three changes on the history I see

• 18:21, 31 May 2019 BlackcurrantTea
• 14:06, 1 June 2017 24.226.184.50
• 14:55, 16 April 2016 Wiki tamil 100

Shouldn’t 1 June be the top one? Ottawahitech (talk) 15:54, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Seems perfectly fine to me. The second edit (the 1 June one) was made in 2017 so it's an older edit than the 31 May one. Hiàn (talk) 15:58, 13 July 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Hiàn, and sorry to have dragged you all here. For some strange reason that I still have not to figured out, I did not see the difference in the year. Note to self: this is not the first time that I did not see something right in front of me. This has happened before. Ottawahitech (talk) 16:08, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
