Is there a prefered order in running the published DL:R adventures/campaigns?

I doubt it. If I recall correctly, however, the events of The Flood take place chronologically before the events of The Last Sons.

In fact, the Player's Guide for "The Last Sons" includes an issue of the Tombstone Epitaph that spoils the end of "The Flood".

Oh, and the upcoming "Return to Manitou Bluff" takes place after "The Flood", but concurrent with "The Last Sons".

Aside from those, I don't believe there's any particular order for the Reloaded adventures.

Yep, that's about the size of it.

The current Deadlands books can be placed in rough chronological order using the Tombstone Epitaph dates (below), but there's no particular need to play them in that order.

The Flood (Sept., 1879-August 23, 1880), Epitaph: Sept. 5, 1879
Smith & Robards 1880 info
South o' the Border Trail Guide, Epitaph: May 23, 1880
The Great Northwest Trail Guide, Epitaph: June 13, 1880
Weird White North Trail Guide, Epitaph: August 8, 1880
Return to Manitou Bluff, Epitaph: August 31, 1880
The Last Sons (Sept., 1880-June 21, 1881), Epitaph: Sept. 5, 1880

And...

Stone and a Hard Place (Oct., 1881-1882) Epitaph: mid-October, 1881

What about Coffin Rock, Murder on the Hellstromme Express, For Whom the Whistle Blows, and Guess Who's Coming to Donner? Where do they fit in?

Apparently I spoke too soon... as is sometimes my wont.

The text of Don't Drink the Water and Murder on the Hellstromme Express set them both in early-to-mid 1880, although they're easily transplanted to some other time.

The other adventures don't have specific dates, far as I can tell.
