Is your primary purpose to assign a number to a set of tiddlers and retain them indefinitely? Is processing the large number of items only the first time, or on import because we could assign "serial numbers" as created or as used?
I suppose I need to understand why you need this, or to what purpose to present one of a number of different methods. - The created date is almost, if not actually unique, and there is a way to make them unique in retrospect if necessary. - It is possible to store tiddler titles in a list that is itself in the order required, without introducing index's - List item can be generated automatically - It is common in tiddlywiki to access tiddlers in a list by more than one sort method, in different orders the serial number is less important. - I have built serial number assignment for tiddler if that would satisfy your needs.
