Sequence of Retail Boxes

I'm planning to get some low-cost months by buying new retail boxes.

Is there a certain order I can/can't apply them? Someone was kind enough to mention that I shouldn't apply City of Villains: Collector's Edition before City of Villains. But If I did something like

Going Rogue
City of Villains
Architect
City of Villains: Collector's Edition

would all four work? I started with the base game retail box back in 2004 and that's the only box code I've applied to the game. Going out of chronological order would let me play in Praetoria as a premium if I lapsed for a little while between subscription months.

Going out of chronological order may not be the best option.

I'm guessing that GR may have included some element of modification to "hero" and "villain" code.... so you should have the code available, so to speak.

Also, I think you'd still have to purchase "access" to Praetorian content if you lapse to Preem ('though I think that once bought, it's permanent).

I'm sure other folks will have better input, but that's just my thoughts off the bat.

just remember that while the retail codes may work to 'upgrade' your account each time, you're only going to get one 'retail box' token.
