If A and B come from the same channel then yes, their order will be
preserved. If they come from different channels then all bets are off,
and there is no knob to turn here - this is just the nature of AMQP I'm
afraid. If you can give us some more details about the type of problem
you're trying to solve we may be able to suggest some solutions.
