I guess the notes have no relationship to anything else, and it seems odd that the order is more or less randomly decided. By that I mean they're not related and not dated.
Sort order would be the only other option I could think of right now, but if it's not going to be a never ending thing for any particular note, then one option would be to number by something else, say 100, 200, 300... then you'd be able to just subtract some value from the sort value for about 98 times each.
Just realized I think I misinterpreted the actual goal. Forget specifics, but I still think the sort order field is your only option. I'll bet there's already code for this somewhere, but I'm trying to make dinner now!
