What gives?

I've never known Pro Tools to automatically increment playlist names that are appended alphabetically - it only does it numerically.
For example, if you have a track named
Kick, and you add a new playlist, the new playlist will be automatically named
Kick.01.
Add another playlist, and it will be automatically named
Kick.02.
The problem with this is that it put the playlist names numerically out of sync, with the actual playlist numbers, which can be particularly confusing if you are trying to switch to a group of different takes etc.
It looks like this :
Kick (playlist 01)
Kick.01 (playlist 02)
Kick.02 (playlist 03)
The trick is to name your original playlist, appended numerically.
I tend to include "Tk" as an abbreviation of "Take" :
Kick Tk.01 (playlist 01)
Kick Tk.02 (playlist 02)
Kick Tk.03 (playlist 03)
