Yeah, I think he started numbering in the late sixties (?), so all the ones bought prior to that are in alphabetical order, and everything bought subsequently just gets the next number as it comes thru the door.

Don't think anyone's mentioned this, they are scanning a bunch of letters and other ephemera from Peel's collection as well:
