In a dataset for forecasting with Prophet, the date column should be ordered?
I noticed problems of convergence for the Prophet algorithm when your date column, the ds column, is not properly ordered. How could this be explained?

Yes, as of the date of this answer, the Prophet algorithm, as implemented in the R language, does require your date field to be correctly ordered from earlier dates to later ones. Otherwise, the algorithm will have problems when converging toward a solution and it may simply output an error.
