What do you mean, the "right chronology?"
Do you mean, you want a correct timeline, say, beginning with BCPL and
ending with C99 (ISO-9899)?

and are the C
standard free to download?

No. That is, it is not legal to distribute in the US except by express

That said, the document is not hard to find, or so I am told.
