Now, looking at that, I see something else wrong: you lose the continuity that the first 4 books had. You read LWW, get interested in the children, then go to Horse, which is confusing enough. To make matters worse, you then get back to the children in Prince Caspian. And they don't even show up untill the middle of TLB, so that's all around lame....

I remember it being refered to as the British order, but thankfully do not recall how they put them. I only have a dim recollection of something very stupid, like putting Prince Caspian sixth.

Heh heh. Yeah, THAT makes sense. Actually, it just means you leave the series on a very dull note, as I always felt PC and TLB were the least interesting of all the books. Unless they threw TLB somewhere else....
