Note that the slides are not playing in numerical sequence; they are playing in trigger order sequence, which can make a huge difference. Triggers are the only way to control which slide is next.
If the triggers are set to jump to next, then numerical order and positional order CAN be the same. The actual playing order and positional order are usually very similar. The closer your design is to linear, the greater the similarity.
Bruce's solution will allow you to change the numbering, but review it afterwards because if you aren't experienced at dragging slides around, you can change the actual playing order. Also always check your menu after something like this.
Thanks everyone. Not sure how I created my mess but what i did was add a slide after the appropriate number to create the next consecutive slide number. Then I copied and pasted the slide I had wanted onto new slide.
Your menu check was critical as a few slides were not even in the menu!! For that I duplicated the missing slides and deleted the originals that did not show.
Bottom-line is it is now fixed. Thanks for the ideas that stimulated a solution.

Just drag the slides around in the scenes box thing. If you get it so an arrow appears and then drop it, the slides will reorder accordingly.
Like so
That's SL2 by the way, I assume other versions are the same though.

Glad to hear you're back up and running Roy!
