If a consumer holds unacknowledged messages when it disconnects then the
broker needs to return those messages to the queue. The current version
of rabbit places those messages at the back of the queue, so you cannot
rely on the order of messages once a reconnect occurs.

The same goes for AMQP methods that accept a "requeue" argument like
basic.reject, basic.recover and basic.nack.
