If you have no more than 10 buckets and no more than 10 categories per bucket, why not just use 0-9 for each?

I’m sorry, I don’t understand the question. Would you mind re-phrasing?

I believe edraferi is just asking why you chose to use a 1-indexing system vs a 0-indexing system. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-based_numbering

Interesting note: Dewey Decimals are zero indexing. And of course, "000" is for computer science.

00 is where I store metadata.
