I noticed that rather randomly, my Unrelenting Force shout now has a 1. next to it in my favorites. Later on, on a totally new character, a 2. popped up next to a different favorited item.
What causes this? Is there any way to reverse it? Is there any actual, intended use for these labels?

These are favorites you've bound to the left and right buttons on your joypad, allowing you to switch betweeen them by pressing the left or right button.
You can bind favorites to the left and right buttons by opening your favorites menu, and pressing the left or right button (left is 1, right is 2)
