Stack IDs are an anomaly in the otherwise-consist use of IDs throughout
LiveCode. Unlike other objects, the stack ID is merely a placeholder
for the next available ID for newly created objects, and as such it'll
change over time as you noted.
In LiveCode stack names are required to be unique within a session, so
those can be used for distinguishing them from other open stacks.
