O.Henry - help needed

There is a total of 13 O.Henry collections over at Project Gutenberg, but no sign of the publication order. I want to make an omnibus edition of all 13, and I want to put them in the proper order.

Does anyone know when each collection was first published? Thanks.

SNIP SNIP While in prison, Porter started to write short stories to earn money to support his daughter Margaret. His first work, Whistling Dick's Christmas Stocking (1899), appeared in McClure's Magazine. The stories of adventure in the U.S. Southwest and in Central America gained an immediately success among readers. After doing three years of the five year sentence, Porter emerged from the prison in 1901 and changed his name to O. Henry. According to some sources, he acquired the pseudonym from a warder called Orrin Henry. It also could be an abbreviation of the name of a French pharmacist, Eteinne-Ossian Henry, found in the U.S. Dispensatory, a reference work Porter used when he was in the prison pharmacy.

O. Henry moved to New York City in 1902, and from December 1903 to January 1906 he wrote a story a week for the New York World, also publishing in other magazines. Henry's first collection, Cabbages and Kings,, appeared in 1904. The second, The Four Million, was published two years later and included his well-known stories The Gift of the Magi and The Furnished Room.

The Trimmed Lamp (1907) explored the lives of New Yorkers and included The Last Leaf. In one of his stories, One Dollar's Worth, SNIP SNIP
