The order of Jesse Stone movies is Not Accurate.

Let's go back to what the OP was saying. He warns about the movies' so-called chronologically correct order according to IMDB not being accurate. Check IMDB's list here: https://www.imdb.com/list/ls027386855/ 

You'll notice they don't list the movies in order of release date, either. Just check the first three: 2006, 2005 & 2007. Now look at the title of the list. Yup, 'chronological order'. 

If someone asks you to list the Star Wars movies in the correct chronological order, you shouldn't start with A New Hope (part 4 of the main series), even though that movie was released first.

Maybe it would help to look up the definition of the word 'chronological' in a dictionary? Cambridge English Dictionary defines the word as follows: 'following the order in which a series of events happened'. The events of Night Passage clearly happen before Stone Cold, even though Stone Cold was released first. So chronologically, Night Passage comes first. The events of the three Star Wars prequels, Solo and Rogue One clearly take place before the events of A New Hope, so chronologically they come before A New Hope.

Hoping to have adequately explained what 'chronological' means, I reprise my earlier reply. I think the OP is right and the list 'Jesse Stone chronological order' on IMDB (https://www.imdb.com/list/ls027386855/) isn't accurate. I believe the correct order is listed here: https://mommybearmedia.com/correct-order-jesse-stone-movies/

kris.aalst,
The list you cite is not IMDb's list; it's created and maintained by a user and hosted by IMDb.

Even the Connections page attached to each film in the series depends on users contributing the connections. Then IMDb lists them in release date order. There is no option to reorder that by story content. Same thing is true on the Star Wars franchise.



The OP never really specified what IMDb data was misleading. (URL is best.)

"The OP never really specified what IMDb data was misleading. (URL is best.)"

Yes, you do have to use a bit of common sense sometimes. Would the OP be talking about:
a. A page on IMDB that simply lists the movies by the year they were released, which leaves no room for discussion?
b. A page on IMDB titled 'Jesse Stone chronological order' which claims to list the movies chronologically, which is debatable?

I'm sure it's option 'b' because the OP wrote, 'If you are trying to watch the Jesse Stone series in chronological order'. Also, an eight year old child could easily find dozens of websites mentioning the year in which a movie was released. Finding the correct chronological order of the events depicted in a series of movies like the Jesse Stone movies is a lot harder, because the films weren't made in the same order in which the books were published. Seriously, I rest my case, such as it is. To me it's clear what the OP meant and I just wanted to try and explain, but obviously that didn't go as smoothly as I anticipated...

Edit: maybe try googling 'star wars movies chronological order' and see what you get. Again, you'll find lists that don't just list the movies by the year they were released. On the contrary...
