Changing “This question has been asked before and already has an answer.” when the duplicate was posted before [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• Should the “closed as duplicate” message be altered? 3 answers

From time to time, a question A is closed as a duplicate of question B, even though B was asked after A.

I find the closure message misleading:

This question has been asked before and already has an answer.

Could we change the message so that it doesn't claim A was asked after B?
