Actually I didn't know that, but checking the original copyright year in my collection here confirms it. Other than that, all of them are in order except "A horse and his boy". They were both written before the last battle at any rate.
I had never bothered checking the years on these books before. Anyway, there's an interesting fact. They don't seem much like side stories though, even if written after the fact, but rather like important storyline info. Magician's Nephew in particular really sets up a lot of stuff. I suppose that's why in the end this guy renumbered them. Well, that's an assumption. Was it Lewis that renumbered them officially later on or someone else that had that kind of influence?
At any rate, with that one being written first I no longer wonder about why they picked that movie after all. If Lewis did however make the decision to renumber the books himself after the fact, that is something to take into consideration.
Oh and, I suppose how many of the books they end up making movies of (film WILL be an outdated term soon enough, it already is when you talk of the DVD versions) all depends on the amount of money they get out of the first one. If it does as big as Lord of the Rings (which seems to be the major motivation to get this movie made if you ask me), then I would wager ALL the books will eventually be released in movie format.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
