Explanation

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-admin/policy/enumeration-of-rules-within- To keep track of rules within a rulebase, you can refer to the rule number, which changes depending on the order of a rule in the rulebase. The rule number determines the order in which the firewall applies the rule. The universally unique identifier (UUID) for a rule never changes even if you modify the rule, such as when you change the rule name. The UUID allows you to track the rule across rule bases even after you deleted the rule.
