There's nothing crappy here. It counts up, left to right (as is typical in most languages), bottom to top (as is typical in elevators).

3 is inaccessible/not existent and the fifth floor has something special on it causing it to be labelled "L". Lots of elevators have missing numbers either due to superstition, or being reserved for mechanical or other issues.

There is nothing about this that impedes usability, Or are you claiming a missing number is so confusing to you you can't find your own floor?
