No. The purpose is exactly to have the old numbers retained
when moving and reorganizing them - a task not well served
by ordered lists.

Maybe you can first look at the tutorial which explains how
I am using this. The function was added to minimize setup
required for this particular use case.

When you have read this, I am happy to brainstorm more about this
and see if there are other contexts where this might be useful.
