Smaller timestamp for newer frame

[pourfard]

Is it possible to get a frame with smaller timestamp than previous frame? I have a GigE 2 Megapixel camera.

        self.cam.AcquisitionMode.SetValue('Continuous')
        self.cam.Close()
        self.cam.StartGrabbing(pylon.GrabStrategy_LatestImageOnly)

I use above code to start grabbing and here is my code to grab a frame:

def get_frame(self):
        # when there is an exception I try 4 more times to get a successful grab
        for i in range(5):
            with self.cam.RetrieveResult(5000, pylon.TimeoutHandling_ThrowException) as grabResult:
                if grabResult.GrabSucceeded():
                    print(grabResult.GetTimeStamp())
...

while True:
    get_frame()

Sometimes frames not grabbed sequentially and the timestamp of newer frame is smaller than previous frame. Is it possible? If yes how can I solve it? I need ordered frames.
