Insidious Guía y cronología
The Lambert family's haunting reaches beyond their house into the Further, a realm where lost souls and predatory spirits wait. Psychic Elise Rainier knows something of its dangers, and carries a history of her own. Insidious moves between her investigations and the family's attempts to live with what followed them home.

Chapter 3's number is its place in publication, not a promise that its main case happens after Chapter 2.
Overview & recommendation
The Lambert haunting introduces the Further through a family who does not understand what is happening to them. Watching that uncertainty unfold is a different experience from starting with Elise's earlier knowledge and history.
The later films move between that investigator's past and the family's lasting consequences. Returning to an earlier case does not reset the shared world or make the first film obsolete.
Keep Insidious and Chapter 2 together because the second continues the first haunting's aftermath. Then use release order for the prequel investigations before returning to the older Lamberts in The Red Door. Chronology is a useful alternative once you know the introductions.
The Lambert Introduction First 6 entries
Select Release order to meet the original haunting before the films that look backward. Stay with each complete case rather than moving individual childhood flashbacks ahead of their surrounding film.

The Earlier Cases Behind Later Film Numbers 6 entries
Chapter 3 and The Last Key's principal investigations precede the Lambert films. Their memories can reach further back still, so a whole-film position should not be mistaken for the date of every scene.
