 :This way the releases are put in the correct order regardless of publisher, which means the page is actually useful. Before, when they were split up by publisher, you had to check all three to figure out what the correct order was for reading/listening.

 ::I see where you're coming from. But, I believe, most readers would be searching trhough the order of stories released by each publisher (to have some sort of continuity between products).
-For example: suppose sees the page ''[[Iris: Abroad (anthology)|Iris: Abroad]]'' and wants to know what comes after it (through the [[Iris Wildthyme (series)]] page). This person would see ''Aboard'' is numbered 4. Obviously, this person would search for #5. But would this number 5 be "[[Wildthyme in Purple]]" or "[[Wildthyme Reloaded (audio anthology)|Wildthyme Reloaded]]"? Yes, I know that the one by the same publisher as ''Aboard'' would be ''WiP'', but it is '''very''' weird and confusing to have two different things having the same number, on the same table.
-I don't think '''everything''' related to Iris WIldthyme (series) need to be put in chronological release order. Having it listed through the release order of each publisher seems just fine for me.

+:::I know for ''certain'' that release order makes it easier to go through the series, because I did it myself, and the wiki was no help. I had to collate the dates and make my own list. I understand that there are ''some'' people interested in the order of a specific publisher. So the table lists the publishers. They can skip the ones that aren't that publisher. I've also edited all the release pages so that they say both the order of the series as a whole, and the order for the specific publishers. The release numbers are slightly confusing, but it's not hard to work out that they correspond to the publishers. And some releases (''Wildthyme on Top'', ''The Claws of Santa'') don't have numbers at all. I'm not sure that the Obverse ans Snowbooks ones are official numbering either, so it might be better to remove them and only list them on the individual pages.
