The numbers with older sets never match up with Scryfall. Back in the day we used to number cards differently than wotc did when they added the collectors number and deckbox uses that old way. You can simulate it easily though Black > Blue > Green > Red > White > Gold > Artifact > Lands and each group in alphabetical order.
To be more precise:
This nonstandard numbering will be true all the way up until Exodus / 6th Edition, when official collector numbers (and colored rarity) were first introduced.
The order mentioned by ic0n67 is
almost correct, except multicolored -- those
follow artifacts and lands in almost every single case.
There are three editions on Deckbox that don't even follow this nonstandard order, and instead have their own unique order:
- 4th Edition -- BUGLRWA -- Lands between green and red
- Antiquities -- ABUGLRW -- Artifacts at the beginning + 4ED's quirk
- Visions -- BUGRWMAL -- The only old set that has multicolored between green and artifacts
