Hmm. Well, you may want to start with the things that aren't directly connected to the sprawling military-industrial complex that is The Order of the Rose - Our Witches at War, for instance, and the one-shot Lensmen: The Brave and the Bold items "Night of the Kissogram!" and Weapon of Choice (the latter of which is from 2012, so you might've seen it, but I forget what time of year it was).

As far as the "main arc", chronologically, you're probably going to want to start at the top of the Legacy of Korra index, run through what exists of Book 6, then jump over to The Order of the Rose (which was still called Symphony No. 5 when you were last here), read the DMS Panic! omnibus for context, then pick up the main series at First Dates and Firefights. From there, the branches and whatnot are (I think? I hope!) fairly well signposted. When in doubt, the chronological listing should sort you out.

Note that the above is not the order in which the bits were released - most of the Legacy of Korra stuff is set before, but came out after, her first-in-real-time EPU appearance in OOTR: Try, Try Again, for instance - so if you want the somewhat more disjointed experience people who've been here the whole time got, well, see my other post, 'cause I can't help you there but I know someone who probably can. :)

Also, as I've said a couple of times over the past couple of years, if you think that's complicated to read, imagine what it's like working on it. :)
