I did a quick search on my library site, and I found these entries:
1 The Centauri Device / [By] M. John Harrison. BOOK 1974.
2 The Committed Men / [By] M. John Harrison. BOOK 1971.
3 The Pastel City / [By] M. John Harrison. BOOK 1972 [c1971]
Do these make up Virconium? And the order is oldest to newest? This series looks very interesting.
No. The sequence itself is rather non-chronological (as I recall), but it was published in the following order:
THE PASTEL CITY
A STORM OF WINGS
IN VIRICONIUM (also known as THE FLOATING GODS)
VIRICONIUM NIGHTS (short stories)
The whole series was recently published by Millennium as an omnibus VIRICONIUM, iirc.
My favorites would be the first and third, iirc. My only "warning" would be that the tone or flavor of the world changes from book to book: for example the heroic fantasy of the first is not exactly matched in the later books, which are more, what . . . artiste cafe embroglios?
