controller ID numbers - are they assignable?

And does this hold in regard to using duplicate devices using generic drivers?

I have a GPWiz, 2 Logitech Rumble pads, and 2 namco light guns plugged in to my system. Although I never unplug them, they have been known to spontaneously renumber themselves. The solution I have is to use JoyID to renumber the GPWiz and the game pads the way I want them. In my case, the game pads always stay in the same order which is good since JoyID does not have any way to differentiate them in software. I simply have an batch script to renumber the USB if things go wonky.
