to coincide with those of the numbered sequence (above),
1,2,3,4 ...infinity
Which infinity is greater?
there is a natural distiction drawn in most languages between cardinal
numbers (one, two, three etc in English) and ordinal numbers (first,
second, third etc in English).
Can you apply this distiction to clarify your question?
At the moment you will find the woman in he pub staring at
you if you speak like that, not having an idea what you're on about.

I am comparing sequenced cardinals with random or unsequenced numerals.
