You can receive data messages our of order. That's all there is to it. If you could receive TCP out of order, you could just use TCP.

From the Article:

  Because SCTP is configurable, we can open multiple data channels with different settings, which saves us tons of work!
  Typically we have:
  an unreliable and unordered data channel for game state data and user inputs
  a reliable and ordered data channel for chat messages, scores and deaths
