If people didn't use numbering (why is this still done anyway) then there would be none of the confusion in the first place, especially different sites using different numbers anyway... no other system has people doing this. Not sure why anything thinks its a good idea to organize games by the date of release rather than their actual name, how is that any easier to actually find a game in a set.

Do you know the search function in your OS?

How is using the search function easier than going straight to it? What is the purpose of having them in order of release, does anyone care about the order?

You pick one game and DL it and when you unzip it, there are multiple files in the zip.....the same damn ROM over and over with slight variations, and a different "bracket code" ("[!]", for example) to denote the integrity of each. I'm not suggesting that you download one # game and get all the dumps of that game in one zip like legacy systems did, that would be some huge DL's!

Actually when you do those it's usually in .7z files, and 7-zip has the ability to store "by difference", so if it has two versions of the same file it's not storing redundant data, only what's changed... so the file's not nearly as large as all of them combined (and in some cases may be less than twice the size of the original).
