The hymnal ID does not necessarily have to match the publication date. We prefer that they do, especially for new hymnals that are being added, but there are DNAH hymnals that had mistaken dates.
Why not move them?
It seems to me it would cause less misinformation if such cases, as they were found, were moved to the correctly dated hymnal ID #.

It is only misinformation for editors who know the code. The correct information is in the hymnal record. Changing the hymnal id involves creating a new hymnal, copying the contents over to the new hymnal and deleting the older one.
