RabbitMQ maintains the order of messages as required by the
specification. See section 4.7 for the AMQP 0-9-1 spec:

---
contents flowing through a single path within the server will remain
ordered. For contents of a given priority flowing through a single path,
we define a content processing path as consisting of one incoming
channel, one exchange, one queue, and one outgoing channel.
---

Examples where the condition of a single path does not hold is when a
consumer reconnects or requeues messages. In these cases you cannot rely
on messages being received in publication order.

However we are currently implementing an enhancement that will allow
ordering to be maintained in the case where a single consumer consumes
from a queue. This has not been released yet.
