Ordering all sensor events without partitioning by device can rank one device’s update against a different device, and ignoring EventSequence leaves equal timestamps tied. For latest-per-device ROW_NUMBER, inspect the partition key and a deterministic ORDER BY with the stable sequence ID.

Confirming the SQL engine version cannot establish deterministic ROW_NUMBER ranking for a device. Two updates can share EventTime; partition by DeviceId and order by EventTime descending plus unique EventSequence so the selected row is reproducibly the newest.

Checking whether dates are missing is not enough when two updates have the same timestamp. ROW_NUMBER must partition by DeviceId and use EventSequence as a stable secondary order; otherwise the latest row can vary between executions.

“Use LAG over device and event time for previous reading” concerns Self-joins create expensive predecessor lookup; the reported problem instead is Need latest row per device without discarding event history.
