The Star Wars analogy is perfect. The order goes 4,5,6,1,2,3,7,8,9.

Star Wars is in the right order. I don't have an issue with that. If you bothered to read it, The Magician's Nephew is not out of order by publishing date or copyright date, which is what you're arguing. To me it makes no difference if it was published today or 50 years ago. The fact that it's book #6 in the series is incorrect. If you've ever read the book, you'll see it deals mostly with the creation of Narnia. Chronologically speaking, if it's toward the end of the series, the "timeline of events" is screwed up. If you wanted to read it in the correct timeline of events, you start with The Magician's Nephew.

You're argument is saying that the book of Genesis should be the second to last book of the Old Testament. I'm saying that's incorrect, you're saying I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

You're really not making any logical sense now.

Star Wars is in the right order. I don't have an issue with that.

Why? Why is a non-chronological "Star Wars" OK with you but a non-chronological "Narnia" isn't?

If you bothered to read it, The Magician's Nephew is not out of order by publishing date or copyright date, which is what you're arguing.

If you're talking about the current publishing order with "Magician's Nephew" 1st, yes it is "out of order" by publishing and copyright date. You do know that "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was published several years before "Magician's Nephew", right? That's what a publishing and copyright date are.
