Gygax novel arrangement.

In what order would one read the Gord the Rogue novels to keep the timeline continuous?
I've only read a few of them, and I can't wait for TLG to release their own Gord reprints, so I'm going back to the originals. But on what order do I read them?
Anybody have any thoughts?

It's been awhile so lets see if I can get it right:
Saga of Old City
Artifact of Evil
Sea of Death
Come Endless Darkness
Dance of Demons
NIght Arrant I think details the time between Saga and Artifact?

There was a book called the City of Hawks that told a different story than the one in Saga of the Old City. I believe it came out after Sea of Death, but chronologically it fell at the same time as Saga. I am pretty sure.
Night Arrant (a short story anthology, btw) does detail some "down time" Gord and Chert had before the great Artifact race began. It also details a crawl through Castle Greyhawk dungeons. Pretty cool stuff.
I for one am salivating for the reprints to come out.

So I can read CITY OF HAWKS and totally skip SAGA OF OLD CITY?

Ack. I tried to help you out, Omote, as I recall Gary spelling out the order on the DF Q&A threads. Unfortunately, the search feature there is useless. I tried searching the books' titles, the name Gord, the word "Chronological", etc. I give up.

From my memory of buying the books "as they were released" the order was:
Saga of Old City
Artifact of Evil
Sea of Death
Night Errant
City of Hawks
Come Endless Darkness
Dance of Demons
Is that right? I remember I had two long waits as I read the anthologies and waited for the story to conclude.
It might have been:
Sea of Death
Night Errant
Come Endless Darkness
City of Hawks
Either way, the anthologies were not my favorite . . . but mainly because of the storyline interruption . . .
