Where would The Runaway Bride go? It's set in 2006, but they also travel to shortly before Earth is formed.

Also, what about episodes that are set outside of time or entirely within the TARDIS (e.g. Time Crash)? Or when all of time sort of happens at once (e.g. The Big Bang, The Wedding of River Song)?

What about false realities (e.g. Amy's Choice, Extremis)? Bubble universes (e.g. The Doctor's Wife, Hide)?

And then there's the matter of the Doctor and River. Do we go in the Doctor's order, or in River's order?

What about cliffhangers and cyclic stories?

Absolutely I'd do this, but I'd need a very large corkboard and about a mile of red yarn to figure out the order.

Cut all the episodes to have snippets that keep the same timeframe, then watch those in order
If two clips are supposed to be the same time, splitscreen
TARDIS scenes would make sense to keep before they arrive to their destination. And TARDIS episodes should be kept in the """present"""
If the time happens all at once, play all the frames of the clip at once. Preferably stretched to be in the background of all the Chronological Dr. Who Marathon™
False realities and bubble universe should either be split screen or inserted in between the start and end of that part.
We go in the time's order. We don't care about the love birds.
If there's a cliff hanger, just play the next chronological clip
Cyclic story can be split screened.

Or in true timelord fashion, make a compund super episode with all of them playing overlayed on each other simultaniously. Takes less time too, not that it matters.
