Butler wrote Patternmaster first and then added prequels (they take place before the events of Patternmaster). Later, they were published in chronological order- with Patternmaster last.

With the caveat that I just finished P- and haven't read the others yet, I'm going to recommend reading them in the order they were written, based on some reviews here where people read them in chronological order and were disappointed. I suspect the quality increased as Butler expanded on the ideas and gained writing experience, so reading them chronologically may feel like a letdown.(less)
