numbering
Giving sequential labels
Numbering is the act of assigning numbers to things in sequence: The numbering of the pages was inconsistent.
It also refers to the system or result of such assignment: The building uses odd-even numbering on opposite sides of the street.
To say something is numbering in a certain amount means it totals that quantity: a crowd numbering in the thousands.
