No.
Most of the Old Testament BOOKS aren't even in order within themselves. Classic example: Judges. Nothing's in order there.
The Hebrew people didn't consider chronology to be a great method of organization. They usually preferred to organize everything around a specific devolutional theme, like in Judges. Everything just gets worse and worse. Same thing with "the Fall" in Genesis, from chapter 2 until the middle of chapter 11.

No. Not even each book is in chronological order. Some of the books have overlapping time periods... Some of the books, or parts of the books are written chronologically... But as a whole, no.

no...Job happened at the same time as Abraham. Its pretty confusing and you would have to do a bible study course on it.
