Description

Hi,

I'm working in a own plugin. This plugin sends severals messages: 3 text messages and 1 document in following sorting.

send_large_msg(receiver, Message1) send_large_msg(receiver, Message2) send_document(receiver, FilePath1, ok_cb, false) send_large_msg(receiver, Message3)

But user receives messages in following sorting

send_large_msg(receiver, Message1) send_large_msg(receiver, Message2) send_large_msg(receiver, Message3) send_document(receiver, FilePaht1, ok_cb, false)

Sometimes text messages are received unsorted, for instance,

send_large_msg(receiver, Message2) send_large_msg(receiver, Message1) send_large_msg(receiver, Message3) send_document(receiver, FilePaht1, ok_cb, false)

Is there any way to force messages to be delivered in desired sorting? Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Investigate the message sending implementation in the `send large msg` and `send document` functions. Look for any async behavior or queuing mechanisms that could reorder messages. Check if there is a known issue with message ordering in the Telegram Bot API or the library's handling of concurrent calls. Consider if a callback based approach might be needed to enforce ordering.
