Since it's an alternate universe, they don't have to follow the same name order as in the original universe.
Hope part 9 is set before part 7 (I know that wouldn't make sense, but still.)

Yeah. Just imagine if the SBR equivalent of "Stone Ocean" sets everything back to the original universe. (Then it all starts again and repeats in a never-ending loop)
What if Araki makes different universes every 6 parts of JoJo?

Interesting idea. Then again, Araki is getting older, and he might want to stop after part 10-12. I'm not entirely sure, but if he did that, that would be epic.
Sadly, Araki sated that the new universe is completely separate, and is just a straight up reboot. He has no plans for returning to the original universe. (Found on a reddit post after a google search)
