David Weber's Honorverse military SciFi series encompasses main series books, a couple of sub-series, and anthologies.

Some of those works were published later but are in-universe prequels (e.g. "More Than Honor" anthology and "The Star Kingdom" contain a backstory of how humans and treecatsTreecats met). Some are sequels with different characters in the same universe ("Crown of Slaves" series)

Is there a recommended order of reading all of them? (ideally, informed by Weber's opinion).

An important point I'm interested in is the order of readinreading of short stories (published separately or in anthologies) - e.g. do they apply to different books/series and if so, should they be read together in the anthology, or within appropriate series order?
