resident evil games chronology


i was wondering if anybody had ever tried to figure out which order some of the stories come in chronologically, this includes the games, the cgi movie, the stories seen in the chronicles games and all the spin offs.

my theory at moment is this:

1: Resident Evil 0 (logical as is set before the original story)
2: Resident Evil original/remake (24 hours after the 0 takes place)
3: Resident Evil Outbreak 1 & 2 (as this deals with the start of the virus outbreak in racoon)
4: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis "first half" (the first part of upto the clock tower fight with nemesis takes place 24 hours before leon & claire arrive and game doesn't carry on until october 1st)
5: Resident Evil 2 (leon & claire arrive in Racoon leave just before the end of september)
6: Resident Evil 3: Nemesis (second half take place at start of october and results with destruction of Racoon City)
7: Resident Evil Survivor (game takes place doesn't seem to take place too long after 3 as it mentions the destruction of Racoon City in a file)
8: Resident Evil: Code Veronica (game takes place 3 months after Resident Evil 3)
9: Resident Evil Dead Aim (takes place sometime between Code Veronica (1998) and 2003 as umbrella corporation still exists)
10: The russian mission from the umbrella Chronicles (this deals with Chris and JIlls entry into one of umbrellas facilities in Russia and results with umbrellas downfall)
11: Operation Javier "from the darkside chronicles" (game involves Leon and Krauser while they were still allies and involves terrorists using the virus)
12: Resident Evil 4 (some time after operation javier as krauser is now an enemy of leon and involves a new threat in Las plagas)
13: Resident Evil Degeneration (CGI film introduces Tricell as the new evil corporation. This really could take place between Operation Javier and Resident Evil 4 but this is my own opinion)
14: Resident Evil 5 (this would be the most upto date chapter of the series as it follows along same lines of 4 and degeneration with the last plagas and tricell storyline)

this is only my opinion would be interested to see what everyone elses views are
