Ask HN: Does FB's chronological sort work for you?

I don't love FB's algorithm and often change to chronological order instead. About half of the time, it ends up feeding me very old posts (from days ago) even though it shows me newer posts if I'm in FB-algorithm-mode. I have had this issue for many months, if not years. Do others have the same problem?

The cynic in me assumes that FB is aware of this issue, and that they don't mind it being broken because it means more people end up using their algorithmic ordering. But it's possible that I'm one of the only people with this issue, or that there's a less cynical explanation for such a seemingly simple/obvious bug persisting for so long.
