Did you try using "C-h R"?  It will find the existing Info buffer
without your need to remember any numbers.  Just type

  C-h R org RET

I have dozens of Info manuals in my Emacs sessions, and I always use
"C-h R" to get to those whose numbers I don't remember (which is all
but the 2 Emacs manuals).
