sort stack by short id of this card

I am, and that's what troubles me:

* When you create a new card, it is assigned a random, unique id.

* When you create six new cards:
	a. You will not get the same 6 card ids that were in the original
HC stack, and
	b. You have no guarentee the id#s will be be consecutive, or even
in ascending order.

* I see no relation between "Index Number" & the card id; so how can
sorting by id get the cards in Index Number order?.

* If the HC stack is in the correct order, you only need to create the
cards in the new stack in the same order and no sort is necessary.
