My apologies. Old WoS had quite a few cases of incorrectly ordered releases, such as a re-release #3 from 1984 and re-release #4 from 1983. They were all fixed a while ago at once.
I can give you a list of all these changes, so you can easily update your database accordingly.
If I added a single ID to all releases now, I don't think it would help. Reordering releases won't happen again, all incorrectly ordered releases were already done. Except for this, every other change related to releases are either merging two releases, splitting a release in two, replacing a publisher, moving a publisher to another release, etc.
