Perhaps my video will inspire the inclusion of such an extra on future Blu-ray editions. That is, this is a 'dvd extra'/scholars' aid not a film in its own right (again along the lines of Memento's dvd bonus of chronological play). This is the complete film but it's not polished up the way an actually released 'A Chronological TFTR' would be (which Donen has always insisted would be deadly dull). My edit 'follows the visuals' and does not attempt to correct any trailing or overlapping audio as we engineer our cut. The edit loses a lot from Donen's ingenious original, but it may be useful to scholars and critics, and in my experience does help certain points and patterns emerge more clearly (much as seeing Memento reordered chronologically does). This video edits the film chronologically. Stanley Donen's (dir.) and Frederic Raphael's (wr.) Two For The Road (1967), the grand-daddy of Eternal Sunshine, Memento, and Eyes Wide Shut, is a marvel of time-shifting and match-cutting.
