Here are the stories of Port William, listed according to narrative chronology (the order in which the events of the stories occur). Each is followed by the collection in which it may be found.
To that point, each of the short stories from "The Girl in the Window" to "Not a Tear" are collected in Library of America's Wendell Berry: Port William Novels & Stories, The Civil War to World War II—with the exception of "A Clearing" (now in How It Went) and "Don't Send a Boy to Do a Man's Work" (1891) because it was originally a section of the novel Jayber Crow (and will be republished in the next volume from Library of America).
