What gives? I can’t really think of any explanation for this, since I don’t think subjects ever get removed, only hidden.

And ホッチキス being that highest subject. I don’t know the reason or what they used to be. But for Kana-Only, maybe some technical reasons?
Not all subjects are published and some may never be published. If it is never published, it doesn’t show up.
Could there at least be dummy responses from the API for those items? I have an array of all the subjects, and it would be really nice if an item’s ID corresponded to the index. Maybe those unpublished items would just have null for every field.
No the subject id has nothing to do with the position in a collection. Further more returning null is not compliant with the documented API. If you need a null in your array, just insert a null when you parsing the subjects.
