Which is fine, until you next run grub-mkconfig. As Mike said, if you use an initramfs, GRUB will then use UUIDs, avoiding all this. Another possibility is that your new drive is connected to a lower numbered SATA port, which is why it jumps in front of the old drive in the device allocation. Connecting your boot drive to the lowest numbered port may avoid future queue-jumping. -- Neil Bothwick Accordion: a bagpipe with pleats.
