Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] sorting on packet number and on time gives different results

Hello all,
following for me somehow unexpected result:
when I filter on packets' number and then on time
results are different and filtering on time produces
not ordered set of packets' numbers but they are
mixed like in e.g. 1, 2, 7, 8, 4,3 etc.
Without delving into the code:
Is there is more to the logic:
the moment packet is timestamped next unassigned
number is granted to its packet number? If yes, what
is the logic then?
