Ok, general question for people wiser than myself about blockchains. Please note this is NOT about the dark blockchain. Reason for asking here is that here i might actually get an answer. To continue:
Is it normal for a block explorer to occationally show that a block higher in the chain was actually created before one lower due to some kind of lag or... something?
To clarify what i mean:
example: We have the explorer showing block 100 was created at 5:10. Then shows that block 101 was created at 5:08.
?

most of the the explorers display the time it received the message of the creation. not the timestamp of the creation.
due to network-effects it can happen, that the node, the explorer depends on receives the messages in the wrong order.
so, yes, this can happen, and it is not a bug.
Excellent, thank you.
