Where would The Runaway Bride go? It's set in 2006, but they also travel to shortly before Earth is formed.
Also, what about episodes that are set outside of time or entirely within the TARDIS (e.g. Time Crash)? Or when all of time sort of happens at once (e.g. The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)?
What about false realities (e.g. Amy's Choice, Extremis)? Bubble universes (e.g. The Doctor's Wife, Hide)?
And then there's the matter of the Doctor and River. Do we go in the Doctor's order, or in River's order?
What about cliffhangers and cyclic stories?
Absolutely I'd do this, but I'd need a very large corkboard and about a mile of red yarn to figure out the order.
You would need to start on the middle of the episode where they are at the start of the world and go from there. Can’t do episode by episode but could scene by scene
There's a marvel fan edit like that, pretty wild watch as it jumps from one movie to the other...
And what might that be called if it were to be found?

I got all wibbly wobbly just reading that.
Or in true timelord fashion, make a compund super episode with all of them playing overlayed on each other simultaniously. Takes less time too, not that it matters.
For the Doctor and River: watch it twice, once for each perspective.
I saw a video once that was from Rivers point of view as she keep meeting the doctor in a reverse order.
I think it was called The Timeline of River Song
Some of your questions can be answered when the episodes are split which would make the idea even more crazy
skip them all, there's too many anyway
If I'm skipping any, it'll just be Love & Monsters (a bit rubbish), The Angels Take Manhattan (too sad; can't watch that one again), and a few (but certainly not all) of Chris Chibnall's episodes (e.g. The Tsuranga Conundrum; I didn't enjoy them that much).
Other than that, I'll take the lot. I might even throw in the Sarah Jane Adventures, Torchwood, Class, the BBV Productions movies, and those spin-off movies starring Peter Cushing, for good measure.
Programmer solution:
Each episode is defined by the earliest point they travel to, excluding that episode's "present".
Jam all edge cases at Epoch (1970) or the present if you prefer (2024). Sort these by order of release.
Push to production.
I like it!
How about City of Death, which takes place in 1980s Paris, Renaissance Italy, and billions of years ago when life on Earth began. Where do you put that in the chronology?
(Answer: You watch this episode first regardless because Douglas Adams wrote it.)
Edit: Technically a bunch of other times too because you get glimpses of other fractured selves of Scaroth from other points in human history.
Stitch runaway bride, what about castrovalva?
It should be easy to figure out, you just order it one storyline at a time:
1 - Unearthly Child - 100,000 BC
4 - Marco Polo - 1289 AD
6 - The Aztecs - Aztec Empire, 1300-1521
3 - Inside the Spaceship - Tardis interior, present.
2 - The Daleks - Far future, unspecified
5 - Keys of Marinus - Far future, unspecified
7 - The Sensorites - Far future, unspecified
And so on...
