Bullinger's Companion Bible has a number of appendices that take up chronology - though none address your topic directly (prophets vs. OT book primacy).  But Appendices 50.VII detail the Ezra-Nehemiah period, and the next section is a harmony of the prophets vs. their kings.  Apdx. 57 covers the geneology of the Persian kings; #58 is a harmony between the book of Ezra and Nehemiah [which would cover/harmonize Zerubbabel & Jeshua].  So the main ingredient still missing would be when the various OT books were written.  Yet good chronologies relating the prophets to both their own kings and significant secular events are readily available.

After I inquired about a timeline, Jane brought a great book to Walter's, and Walter had found a great web site, although navigating it is a bit clunky.  Between the two of them my request was filled!
