Actually, no, there is no way to guarantee ordering, not with all news
readers. Some of the threaded readers will (I think) show you things
in thread order, but they're by no means universal yet.
Simply posting the four parts one at a time (say) 12 hours apart will
give a very high probability that they will appear in that order to
everyone, regardless of reader technology.
You probably should tie them together into a thread, though. Post the
first one. Then post the second one as a followup to the first, and
the third as a followup to the second, and so on.
