Dear Thomas,
Thanks very much for your efforts! This sounds very promising to me.

I think the lowest number would be a more natural choice and would be 
independent auf the number of papers in an issue.

I think non-sticky is the more flexible option.

If you want to put in numbers right from the start, I would make them 
ascending. However, I am not sure that this is a good idea in the first place. 

Best regards,
