I don't think they ever stated the chronological order. It's just that Curse of the Black Stone was released before Desperate Times, the order of release may be expected to correspond to the chronological order. Other than that, both quests recommend Sliske's Endgame, which brings us to back to the earlier problem that Jagex sees about how Sliske's Endgame requires several quests, which makes Jagex reluctant to have any other quests require it.
Personally, I think it would have been fine to have Curse of the Black Stone require Sliske's Endgame, while I
kind
of understand how Desperate Times is designed to function like Missing, Presumed Death.
