As is widely known, the broadcast order for Seasons 25 and 26 was altered by the producer from the originally intended production order to accomodate real world timing into the broadcast schedule. Therefore, Season 25 was rearranged so as to allow an episode of Silver Nemesis to air on the 25th anniversary, and Season 26 was rearranged so that the stories were seasonably suitable: The Curse of Fenric was to air in the Autumn near Halloween, due to its horror themes. However, the chronological order of these stories was unchanged: the productions still reflected the originally intended broadcast order, and therefore the in-narrative continuity reflected this original order also.

On this wiki, most Real World lists correctly list the stories in broadcast order. However, numerous in-universe summaries also list the events in broadcast order, ignoring the inaccuracies and dramatic purpose of the original order.

In order to debate the most sensible system of ordering in a democratic way, I am creating this thread to help the community come to a definitive decision on the ordering of these stories.
