So I just started reading Sanderson. Blazed through Way of Kings and Words of Radiance. While I wait for oathbringer, what would be the recommended order of series to read. I know nothing other than this all seems to happen in the same solar system/universe.

My brother told me to go read Mistborn. Is that a good start?

Well...the current "Stormlight" era is right in the middle of the chronology as we know it. How do you want to go from there?

The earliest so far in the chronology is his first published novel "Elantris." The original "Mistborn" is next I believe and a really good read. But considering you've read both "Stormlight" books, I might suggest reading "Warbreaker" next to learn more about two of the more obvious Worldhoppers that you've met so far.

All up to you, though. Just make sure you read the original Mistborn before you start Wax and Wayne's books.

It's not the same solar system, it's within the same small galaxy/universe.

Edit to add:
I wanted to add that most everything in his books are part of the story, especially with "Stormlight." With those books, most of the stuff on the back cover is "story" from an in universe character. The Ars Arcanum in each book is written by an in universe character, and the maps are drawn by an in universe character.
