I suspect that your problem has to do with the way your messages were moved 
from the old server to the new server.

Such a problem would occur if the most recent messages on the old server 
were transferred to the new server first (making them the least recent on 
the new server), and the least recent on the old server were transferred to 
the new server last (making them the most recent on the new server).

The following is an exchange between K-9 Mail and an IMAP server:

|  >>> 4 SELECT "INBOX"
|  <<< * FLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen $MDNSent Junk 
NonJunk $Forwarded $label1 $label3 $label2 $label4 $label5)
|  <<< * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS (\Answered \Flagged \Draft \Deleted \Seen

(UID FLAGS INTERNALDATE RFC822.SIZE BODY.PEEK[HEADER.FIELDS (date subject 
from content-type to cc reply-to message-id references in-reply-to 
X-K9mail-Identity)])

K-9 Mail opens the inbox.  The server says it has 1,038 messages in the 
inbox.  K-9 Mail requests the UIDs of the 25 most recent messages (1014 to 
1038).  The server responds with the UIDs.  K-9 Mail then fetches those 25 
messages from the server.

Message dates generally don't have anything to do with message retrieval or 
with what is considered "most recent". The order is solely dependent on the 
order in which the messages arrive in the folder.

If you are unable to correct the order on the server, they you may be able 
to adjust the fetch settings on K-9 Mail so that (1) it fetches all 
messages (not just 25), and (2) it fetches messages from just, say, the 
last two weeks, rather than from any time.  The search results would then 
be only date-based.  Unfortunately, the "Load more messages" would not work.
