If you want a consistent numbering across files, your best bet is to close all the open file tabs, otherwise the order will be somewhat random, because find and replace starts at the current cursor position and moves on to the end fo the file, then the next file and so on, until it wraps around to the start of the first file and goes from the top of the file to the cursor position.
IIRC, if none of the files are open, all text files are processed in 'spine' order, that is, the order they appear in in the Files Browser.
