    It seems there is some misunderstanding or it may be your instance-specific issue. Every message will return there own post time.  See here https://prnt.sc/iq7b9r

    select id, depth,post_time from messages where depth = 0 order by post_time desc

It turns out, the query was missing the depth parameter (without it, instead of getting post date of the message itself, query returned post date of its latest replies too)
