How do Christians who believe that Jesus preached to the dead in Sheol justify reversing the chronological order of verses 18 & 19 of 1 Peter 3?

No, there is no chronological issue. The idea that Jesus ’preached while dead’ is not biblically supported.
but made alive in the spirit, in which he went and proclaimed to the spirits in prison
The key words are, “in which”. Being made alive ‘in the spirit’ is synonymous with his resurrection from the dead. He wasn’t made alive in the flesh, that’s how he died. He was made alive in the spirit- that’s when he spoke to the spirits - after his resurrection.
‘Spirits’ in the bible do not refer to humans, but to other of God’s creation. Post resurrection, Jesus said he wasn’t a spirit. Luke 24:39
