I am disagreeing with you because you are wrong.
I sit here with the original series in front of me.
On each spine, there is a number. They read as follows:
The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe (c.1950) - ONE
Prince Caspian (c.1951)- TWO
Voyages of the Dawn Treader (c.1952)- THREE
The Silver Chair (1953)- FOUR
The Horse and His Boy (c.1954)- FIVE
The Magician's Nephew c.(1955)- SIX
The Last Battle (c.1956)- SEVEN
Written in that order, read in that order - and I had no trouble "keeping up".
I don't know what "revised" list you're looking at - I didn't mind doing a little thinking on my own. Sounds like an order created to make it easier to keep up is exactly what I meant by ADD standards.
Apologies for the poor grammar...
