DRAFT UNDERWAY.
See the article on the canon for the general idea of how the "official list of books in the Old Testament" developed from TNK and LXX.
Exile: The time of the Babylonian Captivity (587-520 BC).
The Chronological order is by the date of the topical material in the book. The book of Jonah, for example, tells a story that would have taken place in the 8th century BC but almost certainly was composed after the exile.
