[Bug 2049977] [NEW] journalctl --follow --grep lists lines in wrong order

[Dominic]

Public bug reported:

Version: systemd 253 (253.5-1ubuntu6.1) (23.10 mantic)

When executing:

journalctl --follow --grep="session closed"

the lines are printed from newest to oldest. This essentially makes
--follow useless since it is tail-ing in the wrong direction.

** Affects: systemd (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
