The exact order of cosmere stories is difficult, as Brandon has typically not canonized it, as he wants to remain flexible for the behind-the-scenes stories with Worldhoppers and other unpublished works. An uncanonical timeline of the cosmere has the distance between the Shattering and the breaking of the [[Oathpact]] is about 6000 years.{{qa ref|1091|1}} Do not take that for exact fact, but it probably means that these time scales are in thousands of years, not millions of years.
Generally, cosmere novels have been written chronologically, so Elantris is before era 1 Mistborn books, which is before Warbreaker. However, Brandon will go back and add other works into this scheme, like Dragonsteel
A rough chronological ordering of current cosmere works is:
* [[White Sand]]{{reddit ref|Stormlight_Archive|5dpic4|text=Brandon comments on the timing of ''White Sand''.|date=Nov 28th, 2016}}
* [[Elantris (book)|Elantris]] and [[The Hope of Elantris]]
* [[The Emperor's Soul]]{{ref|name=kogi-beaverton-2014}}
* [[
* [[Warbreaker]]
* [[The Stormlight Archive]]
* [[Mistborn Era 2]]{{qa ref|988|4}}{{qa ref|1097|18}}
* [[Sixth of the Dusk]], which is in the age of Era 4 Mistborn books, the science fiction trilogy{{qa ref|1115|49}}
[[Dragonsteel]] will be the beginning, before Elantris. Mistborn Era 3--the modern day trilogy--will be between the two halves of Stormlight Archive. Mistborn Era 4, the scifi trilogy is at the end.{{qa ref|112|30}} [[Nightblood (book)|Nightblood]], the Warbreaker sequel, will be set closer to Warbreaker than Stormlight Archive.{{qa ref|1108|2}}
