Sources: Wikipedia, Lists by Todd Bennett, Baen’s list of their omnibuses.
It turns out that Baen's six omnibuses, contain nearly all the fiction that Chandler wrote about Grimes, and probably all the good stuff. (Some of it twice?!) Note that Baen published most of these books individually in 2007.
I have only listed shorter fiction which appeared at the top level of a Baen omnibus, not the stories collected in various books.
There’s a website honoring Chandler, created by a David Kelleher. It has lots of good content, including a recommended reading order for the Grimes stories, plus Chandler’s John Grimes - Autobiographical Notes from a 1978 con, Marcon XIII.
