It should be simple to define a logical structure.
A time period has a clearly defined start and end like a day that starts at 
0:00 and ends on 23:59:59.999 (shortly before 0:00). If we would classify a 
time by hours as example 12:21 it would be "this hour", everithing in the range 
of 11:00...11:59 would be "one hour before" and then "earlier this day".
The same scheme applies to days. If we define the start of the week at 
Monday(like defined in Lightning) then we could have Thursday as "Today", 
Wednesday as "Yesterday", Monday and Tuesday as "Earlier this week". With the 
use of "Last week" we could solve any ordering related problem. If today would 
be Monday then Monday is "Today", Sunday is "Yesterday", Satterday is in the 
group "Last week". Everything before the last week could go to "Older Messages".
Sure we could do the same with months or even years ... but this could be 
overdrawn.
