As said there are multiple annoyances. 
A) Object naming; numbered is suggests some kind of sequential. Which isn't the
case.. It's not numbering always up (chronological insertion), but uses also
free slots (say deleted Object1). The numbering is also not in order of the
content in document. And the numbering doesn't show as nice list. I would
expect  Object000001 Object000002. 

So personally the whole numbering has to be replaced by something else. Maybe
some kind of hash. Or drop the numbering at UI level and call everything Object
if it has generated name without addition of numbering. They problem with that
is of course that everything looks the same. So 100 objects called object
without having a unique name. 

2) About they order in the navigator. It shows stuff sequential (or linear) so
from top to bottom (and LTR or RTL depending)

They current way has no logic from user point of view (there is probably some
kind of technical explanation; except i'm not seeing the pattern). It's not
pure chronologically its not pure sequential as far I can tell.
