I don't know why publishers keep insisting on chronological ordering of fantasy/SF book sets. Don't they understand literature? A lot of novels are not chronologically ordered, even within one book. Would you introduce someone to Tolkien and tell them to start with The Silmarillion? Absolutely not. Fortunately, film and TV producers seem to know what works better. IIRC I've watched at least two Narnia movie franchises, and both started with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and proceeded in publication order. They usually don't go beyond The Silver Chair, though. Which was probably the right decision, because the remaining three books feel more like Hollywood milking the franchise with contrived prequels, sequels, and spinoffs than a proper part of the same canon.
