customising numbers on html?

I understand there's algorithms to generate the html number on entries, and that these aren't consecutive to protect privacy. I'm wondering if it's possible to personalise these to generate numbers that can prime-factorise or end with certain integers (such as 5 or 0?), for those of us with OCD? I know this is an issue for at least two other people besides me.

Thanks in advance!

Could you explain why your suggestion would benefit those with OCD? I don't know enough about the condition to understand.

Patterns and numbers that do not conform to the compulsion of a person with OCD can cause a strong and persistent mental distress for some of us, and this could include the numbers in URLs.
