It used to, first addressing in this areas started for military-related 
purposes (conscription).

In this addressing system location has address made from two parts
- location (say Staré Brno distric)
- number within location

Unlike street number that has three parts
- location (town, settlement etc)
- street name
- number on the street

randomly, or more specifically order is not necessarily related to location - 
but be based on say 
order of construction permits
