The "new publishers" actually put them in the order that Lewis wanted them to be read in rather than the order they were originally published/writting when they printed the one volume editions. If you have read the books, the stories make more sense because you have more background information when you read them in the order Lewis wanted them to be read.

Actually Lewis said to read them in writing order, as they won't make much sense if you don't. As the Magician's Nephew (written next to last) refers back to the books written previously.
