What is the best order chronologically for me to do so?

I do not know what books you have, but I always liked the Blood of Kerensky series followed by Legend of the Jade Phoenix series than Twilight of the Clans series. Also the Warrior trilogy is really good. Plus a few of the others in between for fun.

Good question not sure what books deal with the proposed time period
but I recently read Twilight of the clans books and loved that it dealt with everyone in the universe

You should start with the Warrior trilogy if you can find them, then the books on the Gray Death Legion, next would be the Blood of Kerensky trilogy, followed by Legend of the Jade Phoenix trilogy, after that your on your own.

I read every BT book that came out, though there were a few that were kind of boring most were very good reading. Especially if you were into BT.

The very first BT novel was nice to have, but you'd only want to read it once. The Warrior trilogy came next and that's when the BT novels really started to take off.

I lost my battletech books somewhere along the way - or most of them.
The thing I really loved was how the books tended to be written from the perspective of a faction. As a result in one book or series the Combine is the evil horrible empire but another story may cover the same events but show why the Combine acted that way and it's suddenly no so horrible necessarily. There were a number of those occurances which I loved spotting.

I would just start from the beginning, Gray Death trilogy. I´m reading them myself again at the moment.
But the Warrior trilogy are the 3 the best book of the entire series! Stackpole´s Masterpiece! Great view into the politiv´s of
the 4th succession war and some pretty coll characters.

NO NO you all have it wrong, Jade Phoenix books 1 and 2 (they are before operation revival) Blood of Kerensky 1 and 2, then Jade Pheonix 3 (Jade Falcons land before Wolves) then Blood of Keresnky 3. THAT is the best way to read it. IMO of course. Jade Pheonix books 1 and 2 give you more insight in to the Clans way of thinking, PLUS take place before operation revival. But book 3 of Jade Phoenix makes sense to read after the 2 Blood of Keresnky as it explains the Falcon Guard dishonor.

Next chronological order listed above works fine.

I'm doing this, I'm reading them in the order they were published, already went through Thunder Rift and Sword and Dagger, and I'm about a third of the way through Mercenary Star. Seems like the most sensible way to read them, TBH.

Check half price book store on Ebay, they are very reasonable.

I've really been wanting to reread the Legend of the Jade Phoenix series . Just wish they were on Kindle.

Its what I used when I collected them and read them all. Sword and Dagger is the earliest chronologically but its not the best BT book and its very difficult to find. I loved any from Mike Stackpole, Robert Thurston, or Loren L. Coleman

Also if you don't mind Epubs Battlecorps has been slowly releasing the entire line again:
