misnumbering
Getting digits wrong
Misnumbering is assigning wrong numbers to things in a sequence—pages, items in a list, steps in instructions.
The error can throw off everything that follows: The misnumbering of the paragraphs made the cross-references useless.
To misnumber is to number incorrectly.
