If you look at the verse from the perspective that it cannot contradict, then the same verse can be read without incorporating a new chronology into it.
Genesis 1 has already given us the chronology. What is the purpose of interpreting it in such a way that it would be contradictory?
What way is there to interpret Genesis 2:19 so that it does not contradict the earlier chronology? It specifically states that Adam was already there to see and name the birds when they were made.
Reasoning and interpreting is a very good thing... but you need to let us know what this other interpretation is, and how it can be reconciled with the text.
