<p>There are a few light novels on Sword Art Online, namely:</p>

<ul>
<li>Sword Art Online 1: Aincrad</li>
<li>Sword Art Online 2: Aincrad</li>
<li>Sword Art Online 3: Fairy Dance</li>
<li>Sword Art Online Progressive, Vol 1</li>
<li>Sword Art Online Progressive, Vol 2</li>
</ul>

<p>I've read that Progressive is about Aincrad, but there are also two other light novels named "Aincrad", what would be the correct chronological order of these Light Novels?</p>

My understanding is *"Progressive"* takes place between the start and end of the Aincrad Arc (ie. when the players are trapped by Kayaba) fleshing out some of the events that took place during that time which only get a passing mention in the original novels
