I would propose the placement based on two factors: The next chronological appearance between a given primary issue of a volume and the annual in question, followed by the publication date, whichever of the two fits best because the annuals are typically a blending of both.

To clarify, particularly with annuals that have back-up stories on top of the featured tale: the continuity component would specifically focus on the featured tale because that one is typically framed in the "present" whereas the back-ups often are recaps, flashback stories or unrelated to the baseline continuity of the volume in question.
