Just remember that if you buy the DVDs, the episodes ARE in chronological order, which takes quite a bit of the run out of the series. It's much better watched in the original broadcast order.
"The original "next episode" previews broadcast after the closing credits featured Haruhi announcing the episode number according to its chronological place in the storyline. Kyon then interjects, 'correcting' her by announcing the episode number in order of broadcast. These have become known as the "Haruhi order" and "Kyon order" respectively. This was done because the climax of the story, in chronological order, occurs barely halfway into the series, and thus causes the story to lose some dramatic effect."
