Matthew's Gospel contains around 600 of the 666 verses from Mark's Gospel and was written in the same order as Mark. In this respect, the Gospel of Matthew agrees with Luke. Some sayings material was inserted into Matthew at various points, from the hypothetical 'Q' document, but not necessarily at the same points as Luke, when it uses the same material form Q.
As far as the author of Matthew could establish, the Gospel was written in chronological order.
AnswerNo. Luke's is the only Gospel meant to present a historical work "in order" (Luke 1:3). Most of his stories fall in chronological sequence.

AnswerThe books of the New Testament are not entirely in chronological order. The gospels are placed first, although some of the epistles were written earlier. Mark's Gospel is now known to have been the first gospel written, but is placed second. Paul's epistles are placed in order by size, from longest to shortest (with one exception) rather than by date written. Hebrews follows the Pauline epistles, because it was once thought to have been written by Paul. The other non-Pauline epistles are also placed in order by size.The chronological order of events differs a little among the three synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke), but is very different in John's Gospel. Even though each gospel presents events as if in chronological order, this is clearly not the case.
chronological order
When something is in "chronological order", it means it is in order of time. For example, a story might be told in chronological order - explaining the events in the order they happened. "Non-chronological", of course, means that some things are told in a different order.
In chronological order, they are: Abraham, Moses, David, Jesus, and Paul.
