[Python] Reading emails with imap_tools getting wrong sort-output

i want to read the emails from an email-account from the newsest to the oldest mail in the inbox using the following code:

from imap_tools import MailBox
import os
import sys
from dotenv import load_dotenv

path = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(sys.argv[0]))
fn = os.path.join(path, ".env")
load_dotenv(fn)
LOGIN_EMAIL = os.environ.get("LOGIN_EMAIL")
LOGIN_PW = os.environ.get("LOGIN_PW")
SERVER = os.environ.get("SERVER")

with MailBox(SERVER).login(LOGIN_EMAIL, LOGIN_PW) as mailbox:
for msg in mailbox.fetch(reverse=True):
print(msg.date, msg.subject)
input("Press!")


When i run this code i get this output for the first 3 emails:

(test) C:\DEVNEU\Fiverr2025\TRY\franksrn>python test.py
