I will ignore the ignorant who do not read.
So now, what's the reason that some older prophets are mentioned after the newest prophets?
i.e. the prophets are not mentioned in chronological sequence.
=================================================================
The prophets are mentioned in the Quran in many ways; in some sooras they are mentioned with the chronological sequence; while in another soora they are mentioned in preference: i.e. the preferred prophets are mentioned before the rest.
While in this soora they are mentioned in another way.

Quran 6: 83-90, which mean:
{
83. This [argument of
Abraham] is Our evident argument which We gave to Abraham
s [to argue with] against his people; We raise in ranks
t whom [of believers] We like; your Lord is Most Wise
u, All-Knowing [of whoever deserves wisdom, so He raises his rank with it.]
84. And We gave to him
Isaac v and
Jacob w: each [one of them] We guided
x; and before [Abraham], We had guided
Noah, and of [Abraham's] progeny: [We guided:]
David [son of Jesse],
Solomon [son of David],
Job y,
Joseph [son of Jacob],
Moses [son of Amram or Imran
z] and
Aaron [the brother of Moses
a a]:
Thus do We reward those b b [of your nation, Mohammed] that are kind.
[Then God – be glorified – mentioned the prophets out of the seed of Abraham who were ascetic and who renounced the pleasures of the World:]
85. Zachariah c c and
John d d,
Jesus e e and
Elias f f; each was of the righteous.
[Then He mentioned those of them who emigrated from one country to another:]
86. Ishmael g g and
Eliseus h h,
Jonah i i and
Lot j j – each one
k k We preferred to all nations.
l l
87. And [there were righteous men out] of their fathers
m m, and of their seed and of their brethren: We chose them
n n and guided them to a 'standard and correct' way [of the truth.]
88. That [guidance] is God's guidance, wherewith He guides whom of His servants He pleases
o o.
But had they
p p associated, then all that [righteous work], they did, would have been useless to them.
q q
89. Those [prophets] are they to whom We gave the scripture
r r, the judgment
ss and the prophet-hood.
But if these [your people] deny [your prophet-hood], We have given it in charge to a [believing] people [: your companions]
t t who are not the deniers of it.
90. Those [prophets] were they whom God guided [to the way of the truth], so follow their guidance [O Mohammed!]
u u
Say [Mohammed, to your people]: I ask not of you any recompense for it
v v; the [Quran] is only an admonition to mankind

=====================================================================
Therefore, in these ayat, the prophets are not mentioned in chronology or in preference, but in categories;
So that:
1- The names of David and Solomon were mentioned before Job, Joseph, Moses and Aaron; because the bounties that were given to them were more than those before them; therefore
David and Solomon were mentioned with much bounties more than those mentioned after them, not by rank neither by preference, nor by precedence.
2- The prophets out of the seed of Abraham that
were ascetic and they renounced the pleasures of the World are mentioned in one group: Zachariah, John, Jesus and Elias (Isaiah.)
3- The prophets who
emigrated from one country to another are mentioned in one group also: Ishmael, Eliseus, Jonah and Lot.
===============================================================
While in the soora 21, the prophets are mentioned in another way:
