Should this be a series and if yes, how ordered?

Note that this question is similar to the following one, but I tought I'd still make a new thread because of some differences: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/1...

There is a science fiction series called Metro 2033. It consists of several books (note, only the first one was translated to english yet), only two of them by the original author (Metro 2033, Metro 2034) while the rest are by different authors, but they all share the same universe and basic background.

So, should they be connected by a series? I personally think so, because after all, they're more or less losely connected, but on the other hand, they're from different authors. Is it even possible to make a series with books by different authors?

Also, if a series, how should it be ordered? According to the link above, I'd say by publish date, bu I figured I should ask as well.

Sounds like a series to me. Yes, it is possible to have a series with multiple authors. Create the series using the first book, then edit the series to add the other books. I would order it by publication date.
