I would put Green Isn't Your Color before Dog and Pony Show. Bonbon and her friend that's not Lyra show up at Rarity's and have no idea who she is or why they should care, indicating that she's not famous fashion designer just yet.
Also, technically there's nothing stopping some of these episode from taking place in the spring after Winter Wrap Up. |

I don't know for a fact (haven't read this with scrutiny to detail), but I think Green Isn't Your Color needs to come before A Dog and Pony Show
In Green Isn't Your Color, Rarity hasn't achieved fame yet, as suggested by her desire to rise to fame and from the comment by (Bonbon was it?) saying "Never heard of you". Granted the pony could be ignorant of Rarity. We can't expect every last pony to be perfectly in tune with the fashion world. Still, In A Dog and Pony Show, she has famous clientele asking for her designs. |

Applejack is seen harvesting apples in Party of One. Should probably also consider Pinkie's distrust of her friends as an early stage in their development, although, to be fair, this is Pinkie we're talking about. Also, there was sufficient enough evidence to support her suspicions.
All that aside, AJs casual collecting of Apples puts it before Applebuck Season. If we use Applebuck Season as a definitive point, then Show Stoppers and Cutie Mark Chronicles should also go before it since we see an orchard full of apples. In fact, we can assume any episode that displays an orchard full of apples to be before Applebuck Season. Off the top of my head, Swarm of the Century also includes the orchard. |

Also, I think we can effectively rule out Spring since there aren't any... wait for it... APPLE BLOOMS, LOLOLOLOL,LEKRJGN34RMGFB, NGRF |

I would place Dragonshy after Griffon the Brushoff and before Over a Barrel because Pinkie seems comfortable enough with Dash to prank her, the group views Fluttershy as 100% timid until the end of DS (in GtB Pinkie stopped Dash from pranking her because she's too sensitive), and Fluttershy's general lack of confidence around her friends.
It might be possible to follow Fluttershy's confidence chronologically, if you want to try. The way she joyfully tackles Pinkie in OAB could stem from the confidence Pinkie gave her with her song in Dragonshy, which would result in a closer friendship. The only connection I can see for Party of One is to Pinkie Keen because of Gummy being introduced in the latter. |

Of course, basing anything on the apple orchard, or any of the seasonal connections, is reliant entirely on the assumption that this all takes place within a single year. |

I will go further and say Green Isn't Your Color took place before Suited for Success. Photo Finish says Fluttershy should wear a dress inspired by "ze Nature", and Rarity says that she doesn't have anything like that, and obviously the very idea hasn't occurred to her before. Therefore, according to the story, the gala dresses don't yet exist.
The dresses' appearance in the background is just an animator convenience, like pony clones. They represent "a rack of dresses" and not any dresses in particular, otherwise Rarity would have said "I have just the thing" and pulled Fluttershy's perfect dress from where it was right in front of her face. |

@246: It all has to take place within a single year if Best Night Ever is meant to be the latest episode chronologically, and I don't see why it shouldn't be.
The Gala is probably in Spring, as all of the flowers are supposed to be in bloom on the night of the Gala. Since Twilight arrived in Summer, the entire season of episodes can be said to take place over the course of a single year. |

I'd suggest that Swarm of the Century be placed after the Gala, as the dresses are destroyed during that episode. Also, given that the ponies would need to pretty much rebuild Ponyville after that, and we never see the town damaged again, there must be a sizable gap between it and whatever follows. |
