I get it, I really do.
But for me the published order is what I go by. I really wish authors would include the original pub date on their websites. It's surprising how many author site's do not have this basic info. It would also help if they would include an accurate series order.
And it's even worse a lot of times trying to track down "when" info for short stories that were posted on an author's website. Nalini Singh* isn't the only author who posts slice-of-life type short stories or deleted scenes. And if a new reader is late to the party it can be difficult to find info about these.
I can't tell you how many times I've had to resort to the way back machine or scour an author's blog/twitter/facebook trying to see exactly when something was released. Just put a flipping date!
*FTR Nalini's dates were easy to find after the fact except for the very early stories which Ashwini was very helpful assisting me with
