The Black Company may jump around, but I fail to see how published order and chronological order differ. According to
https://www.alltimelines.com/black-company/ :
Quote:
WHERE TO START READING THE BLACK COMPANY SERIES?
This is one instance where the answer to this question is simple. Start at the beginning. The chronological and release date order for these books coincide.

The only discrepancy from this order is in the omnibus edition as ebook
Annals of the Black Company where the spin off
The Silver Spike comes after
The Books of the South and not before.
I fail to see how this example is a good example relevant to the discussion whether to read published vs suggested vs chronological order.
