There have been some recent threads on sword-devel regarding this. 
AFAICT, there is none available as a SWORD module. It was noted that 
some copyrighted chronological Bibles do exist.

Probably the best module would be a daily devotional or reading plan. 
Essentially this would be a list of passages ordered split up by day of 
the year. The advantage of going this route is that it would work with 
many Bible modules (all with the KJV versification).

The CrossWire wiki (www.crosswire.org/wiki) should have sufficient 
instructions on how to create any SWORD module, including a daily 
devotional.

For CrossWire to host such a module, it will be important to know that 
it is free of copyright encumbrances by knowing where the chronology 
ultimately came.

Hope that helps.

In Christ's Service,
