Forces takes place after Mania. In the true ending to Mania, Sonic and the Phantom Ruby enter into a portal and this ties directly into the scene where he saves Tails from Chaos.

(The clip starts at 0:40)

It's a messy and plot-hole ridden story because the series is so inconsistent about the origins of the Phantom Ruby. Forces itself implies that Eggman created it, the prequel comics have it suddenly manifest literally on Eggman's doorstep, in Mania it's found buried on Angel Island and in Mania's Encore Mode it still exists somehow, despite it supposedly being destroyed at the end of Forces. (Bonus points if you also count Team Sonic Racing; whilst not mentioned in the plot or even seen, if you've ever played the online modes you'll notice that all of the racers warp to the starting line with the Phantom Ruby's signature sound effects and red cubes.)

Following Forces, Classic Sonic fades away and then emerges from a portal on Angel Island in Mania's universe. Now following that you get either the story of Encore Mode or Mania Adventures. Which one, if either, is supposed to be canon is really anyone's guess.

The Phantom Ruby is a terrible plot point, as is the Classic and Modern universe split. It was only in Generations that it was formerly established that Classic and Modern were part of one, simple  timeline. You can't really make sense of it no matter how hard you try. But it's pretty objective that Mania comes before Forces, not after it.

Sonic Mania is very obviously a prequel to Sonic Forces.

The final boss of the game sends Classic Sonic through a portal into Sonic Forces, further compounded by a motif of the Mania theme playing in the cutscene when he appears. Additionally, Classic Sonic returning to his world at the end of Sonic Forces sends him into either Sonic Mania: Encore Mode or Sonic Mania Adventures.

The Phantom Ruby is only presumed to be destroyed. Somehow, Classic Sonic is transported back to his dimension when the Phantom Ruby returns also. About where the Ruby came from in the modern dimension, my guess is that when the Phantom Ruby and Classic Sonic where transported by the Chaos Emeralds, Classic Sonic was stuck between dimensions while the Phantom Ruby landed outside of Dr. Eggman's base. It wasn't until Tails was being attacked by Chaos that Classic Sonic was finally freed.

I think the other dimension can be explained as like the Marvel MCU time travel. When they travel to the past in the Marvel movies, they are actually travelling to another dimension which has a similar or identical time line. If you change something in the "past" in that dimension nothing changes in the "present" dimension. That's probably the only way it can be explained how Tails knows that Classic Sonic is from another dimension instead of the past. Sega probably wanted to be able to make more "classic" style games without worrying about implementing something that conflicts with the "present" dimension. (Not that there aren't any conflicting details already) That way, maybe they can keep the Classic and Modern styles separate from now on. I really don't want Classic Sonic in the modern games anymore. Sonic Forces (aka Sonic Generations 2) was more than enough.
