If multiple posts has same date, get_previous_post() and get_next_post() returns only first/last of them

[oskarijarvelin]

get_previous_post() and get_next_post() both uses get_adjacent_post() -function, which uses date for query. If query return multiple posts for same date, function only returns first or last post depending on $previous -parameter. As a result, if you have multiple posts for a same date, get_previous_post() and get_next_post() functions does not work as meant to.

Found one mention about this issue about a year earlier: ​https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/330276/get-next-post-and-get-previous-post-return-wrong-posts

I have seen this in the Theme Unit Test data, because several posts were artificially given the same date/time. It probably does not come up much in real life to have the exact same date/time on multiple posts. But it is still very confusing when it does happen.
