No, because 2 or 5 were FINITE numbers, not transfinite numbers.

 Learn what an order type is according to Cantor.
 

Maybe you should. "Order Types" are not "Numbers" but properties of how you order the set of numbers.

Your ignorance is actually unlimited. Cantor created and defined these notions: Den Ordnungstypus einer wohlgeordneten Menge F nennen wir die ihr zukommende "Ordnungszahl".
