Daybreakers is "sixth in the series" only if you are looking at chronological order. If you are looking at publication order, it is first.
So when you're pondering which book in the Sackett series did Louis L'Amour come up with first, that would probably be Daybreakers, since that is the first one he published. If you were following and reading the series closely as it was being released back in the day, you would be reading books in publication order. Which I personally think is the correct order to read a series. Chronological order is an after the fact rearrangement based on dates - which may be completely meaningless or even harmful to the story.
Can you imagine reading Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse Five" if someone, after the fact, had decided that the chapters needed to be rearranged into chronological order?
Others opinions may differ.
