Percolating the Dew of Heaven

What is the chronological order of the Books in the New Testament?

It is very difficult to assess the exact chronology of the compilation of works in the New Testament.  Many of the documents selected for compilation did not give dates nor can authorship be fully assured.  There have been many scholarly attempts to bring temporal order to the New Testaments works, here is one such starting in Acts:

Acts 1:1-12-1
James
Acts 12:2-18:5
1st Thessalonians
Acts 18:5-18:17
2nd Thessalonians
Acts 18:18-19:41
1st Corinthians
Acts 20:1
2nd Corinthians
Acts 20:2-20:3
Galatioans
Romans
Acts 20:4-Acts 28:31
Philemon
Colossians
Ephesians
Philippians
1st Timothy
Titus
1st Peter
Hebrews
2nd Peter
jude
2nd Timothy
1st John
2nd John
3rd John
Revelation
