      regularity  and  that  the  applicant  is  entitled to the issuance of a
      certificate of title, shall issue a certificate of title of the vehicle,
      except that the commissioner  may  require  that  any  such  vehicle  be
      inspected   in  a  manner  prescribed  by  him  for  conformity  to  the
      description given in the application before he issues a  certificate  of
      title.

        (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

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