I get what you're saying, and I have my older spools (where the number/name was only on the outside packaging) sorted with their name/number kept together.
My concern is when I'm trying to order what might be new only to find that the same colour is now sold under a different name and number and then I have duplicates I don't need. When I order while on the computer in the evening, it's not always apparent that the colour I'm ordering is a duplicate in disguise....
Sometimes I wish I had a slightly different shade and order what I think is a new, slightly different shade only to get my order and realize I've been mislead....
