1) the scrambled up order is tactic used to disorient the viewer so that they're getting a 'point of view' like a puzzle to be assembled (kind of like Kyon's confusion).
2) it also permits a nice build up of tension.

The technique has been used by a number of literary authors before.

Its fun to watch it in airing order and then go back and watch it in chronological order. The lists are available in the sticky threads.

Everyone hopes for a sequel but KyoAni has Kanon 2006 and maybe another series before they can get back to Haruhi .... the popularity seems to have caught them offguard.

I suggest avoiding the novels until after you've seen the series ... otherwise you might be annoyed that some scenes weren't in the anime
