Most of the Gospel harmonies are in chronological order but I don't know of a source that tries to insert the Acts and Corinthians appearances into the order. The Eleven Matins Gospels that are read in the Orthodox Churches aren't read in chronological order but I would suspect that studies of them would address chronological issues.
A reasonable guess from http://christiananswers.net/dictionary/resurrectionofchrist.html :
Eleven different appearances of our risen Lord are recorded in the New Testament…
-
To Mary Magdalene at the sepulchre alone. This is recorded at length only by John (20:11-18), and alluded to by Mark (16:9-11).
-
To certain women, “the other Mary,” Salome, Joanna, and others, as they returned from the sepulchre. Matthew (28:1-10) alone gives an account of this. (Compare Mark 16:1-8, and Luke 24:1-11.)
-
To Simon Peter alone on the day of the resurrection. (See Luke 24:34; 1 Cor. 15:5.)
-
To the two disciples on the way to Emmaus on the day of the resurrection, recorded fully only by Luke (24:13-35. Compare Mark 16:12,13).
-
To the ten disciples (Thomas being absent) and others “with them,” at Jerusalem on the evening of the resurrection day. One of the evangelists gives an account of this appearance, John (20:19-24).
-
To the disciples again (Thomas being present) at Jerusalem (Mark 16:14-18; Luke 24:33-40; John 20:26-28. See also 1 Cor. 15:5).
-
To the disciples when fishing at the Sea of Galilee. Of this appearance also John (21:1-23) alone gives an account.
-
To the eleven, and above 500 brethren at once, at an appointed place in Galilee (1 Cor. 15:6; compare Matt. 28:16-20).
-
To James, but under what circumstances we are not informed (1 Cor. 15:7).
-
To the apostles immediately before the ascension. They accompanied him from Jerusalem to Mount Olivet, and there they saw him ascend “till a cloud received him out of their sight” (Mark 16:19; Luke 24:50-52; Acts 1:4-10).
It is worthy of note that it is distinctly related that on most of these occasions our Lord afforded his disciples the amplest opportunity of testing the fact of his resurrection. He conversed with them face to face. They touched him (Matt. 28:9; Luke 24:39; John 20:27), and he ate bread with them (Luke 24:42,43; John 21:12,13).
-
In addition to the above, mention might be made of Christ's manifestation of himself to Paul at Damascus, who speaks of it as an appearance of the risen Savior (Acts 9:3-9, 17; 1 Cor. 15:8; 9:1).
-
It is implied in the words of Luke (Acts 1:3) that there may have been other appearances of which we have no record.
Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
