You know I had never thought of this! Undertale actually has a lot of differing factors that can make it difficult to peg a series of events.

I was thinking your first sequence is correct. Alphys made Mettaton and he had yet to make it big so he still kept coming back to his diaries. But this is countered with another diary implying that maybe Mettaton ran away while he was still a ghost.

Its really hard to figure out the series of events because in order to perform the determination experiments, Alphys must have already been the royal scientist. She became the royal scientist AFTER building Mettaton which is a more concrete fact. Shyren's sister fell down implicably when Mettaton was still a ghost and hanging around waterfall. I would say your idea of Shyren's sister being comatose for a long period of time could be correct.
