Separate box (or status bar entry) that just displays the highest row number?

Good Afternoon,
After working Field Day this weekend, and operating on the FT4 - FT8
station, I noticed that in the Contest Log the QSOs are numbered in
the left hand column, numbers ascending from the top of the log to the
bottom.
By the same token, each new QSO is added to the top of the list, which
gives the latest QSO a number of 1, which pushes the previous #1 QSO
down to #2, etc for all the QSOs in the log giving the first QSO of
Field Day a QSO number corresponding to the total contacts made at
Field Day.
My request is as follows, could the QSO numbers in the left hand
column correspond to the actual order of the contacts, with the
highest number at the top, with each new contact added, as is
currently done, at the top of the list, or, if necessary, could the
newest contacts be added to the bottom of the list and have the list
scroll up as contacts are added.
A minor issue I am sure, but, if it is possible to do this, it would
give an interested bystander an immediate knowledge of the total
contacts for this station without bothering the operator.
Thanks for considering my request.

Hi Jerry,
unfortunately those are not minor issues. Having the log table displayed
with the newest entries at the bottom causes a severe performance
problem that we do not have an easy solution for. The issue is not the
ordering but having to constantly scroll the list as new entries are
added. Having the newest at the top requires no scrolling and therefore
no performance penalty. The numbers are simply row numbers, they can be
turned off but then you could not scroll to the bottom for a quick count
of entries. Adding a count somewhere else on the log window also causes
a performance issue unless we keep track of the row count ourselves,
which is not easy to do with accuracy.
