There could be different ways to determine the order. One option is to see if there are any publication dates associated with each novel. Usually, the earlier published ones come first in the order. Another way could be if there is a series arc that dictates a certain order, like a chronological story development within the War on Terror theme. However, without more information about these novels specifically, it's hard to give a definite order.

I'd suggest beginning with his earlier novels to understand his evolving style. For example, 'Soldiers' Pay' could be a good starting point. But really, you can jump in wherever your interest lies.
Then there is 'The Yellow Birds' by Kevin Powers. It's a harrowing account of two soldiers in the Iraq War. The novel vividly portrays the psychological toll of war, the bond between soldiers, and the chaos and brutality of the battlefield. It gives readers an intimate look at what the 'war on terror' meant on a personal level for those who fought in it.
Well, a common suggested order is to start with his more accessible works like 'The Sound and the Fury' and then move on to 'As I Lay Dying'.
For a beginner, start with 'The Sound and the Fury'. It has a unique narrative structure that will draw you in and introduce you to Faulkner's way of storytelling. After that, 'As I Lay Dying' is a good choice as it's a bit more straightforward in comparison. Then you can move on to 'Light in August' to further explore his writing style and the themes he often deals with like race, class, and family in the South.
I would recommend starting with the more accessible ones. For example, 'Light in August' is relatively easier to get into compared to some of his other works. Next, you could read 'Sanctuary' which shows a different side of Faulkner's storytelling. And then 'Go Down, Moses' which is an important work that deals with race and family relations in the South.
One main characteristic is the vivid use of Venice as a setting. The canals, bridges, and old buildings add an air of mystery. The post - war element often means there are characters with complex pasts related to the war. For example, some might be war survivors with secrets.
