I believe it's the fifth oldest - I think!-5 will get you the fifth impost recent, but I was shown that and haven't put it into practice.
The most common usecase I do is something like history | grep docker to find docker commands I've ran, then use ! followed by the number associated with the command I want to run in history.
sudo !!to rerun last command as sudo.historycan be paired with!5to run the fifth command listed in history.Fifth as in fifth most recent command or fifth oldest?
