Not how airbus numbering works, in general. The A400 is older than the A350, for instance.
The first was the A300, and at that point the number was supposed to mean the passenger number, though as it turned out there wasn't much demand for a 300 passenger wide body at the time and it was scaled down. After that, the numbers became more or less random.
