Best reading order of Anne McCaffrey's non-Pern sci-fi

Anne McCaffrey wrote even more sci-fi novels, series and shortstories than she wrote about her dragon-filled universe of Pern. If you prefer to read all works of an author chronologically, starting with her first shortstories written for magazines and the like, here is the suggestion of a good and comprehensive reading order which at the same time brings together the volumes of series written over several years.
