Report Numbering Convention & Request Process

Content

We have over 150 custom reports that we're trying to tidy and condense.

Currently, there is no numbering or naming convention or formal report request process.  Does anyone have suggestions for report numbering and naming conventions or report request process (to prevent the continued increase of reports)?

[We use report categories and folders, but our users like being able to type in a number in the search box for easy access--unfortunately, they don't want to take the time to personalize folders of reports for themselves.]
