I'm not sure I would trust any developer that was involved with that download page. Who decided to sort by an arbitrary string assigned to a build? Might as well sort by hash.
Could you mean by device codename?
Which is an arbitrary string, yes.
I disagree, while the device codename itself is arbitrary, it's not arbitrary on the download page. It's common to identify devices by codename when naming custom roms.
~~Also the code names are adopted from LineageOS~~
No, they are adopted from the device manufacturer.
