> We recommend using the `received_at` timestamp for all queries based on time. The reason for this is two-fold. First, the `sent_at` timestamp relies on a client's device clock being accurate, which is generally unreliable. Secondly, we set `received_at` as the sort key in Redshift schemas, which means queries will execute much faster when using `received_at`. You can continue to use `timestamp` or `sent_at` timestamps in queries if `received_at` doesn't work for your analysis, but the queries will take longer to complete.
