You're probably using some kind of 'autoincrement' field for your entry
number.

The short answer is if you want that kind of behaviour then you shouldn't be
using an autoincrement field.
The quick solution, if you intend to continue the autoincrement field, is to
number the entries manually when you're displaying them: Something along the
lines of:
$count = 0;
while ($row(mysql_fetch_array($result_id))) {
$count++;
echo "Entry $count";
...
...
}
