title issued by him:

(1) Under a distinctive title number assigned to the vehicle;

(2) Under the identifying number of the vehicle;

(3) Alphabetically, under the name of the owner, unless he maintains

(4) Under the registration number of the vehicle; and

(5) In the discretion of the commissioner, in any other method he
determines.

(c) When the commissioner issues a certificate of title for a vehicle
as a result of an original application for a title or as a result of the

lienholder or lienholders named in the original application, or to the
lienholder who filed the subsequent security interest a notice of
recorded lien.
