Jumping ID auto increment after delete

Need Help
1

When I was delete record Users, the ID primary key auto increment always jumping, I want ID auto increment is sequence again, this sample

|  ID  |  UserName |
|   1  |   Budi    |
|   2  |   Joko    |    
|   3  |   Amir    |

when I delete users Joko, then I add new other user, the ID number is jumping

|  ID  | UserName |
|  1   |   Budi   |
|  3   |   Amir   |
|  4   |   Faris  |

I have some solution in stackoverflow, but does’t work,
here I have add modified file

config/app.php

'SQLkonek' => [
      'className' => 'Cake\Database\Connection',
      'driver' => 'Cake\Database\Driver\Mysql',
      'persistent' => false,
      'host' => 'localhost',
      'username' => 'root',
      'paassword' => ' ',
      'database' => 'klinikucing',
      'encoding' => 'utf8mb4',
      'timezone' => ' ',
      'cacheMetadata' => true
]

then I call modified above through

controller/UsersController.php

public function delete ($id = null)
{
   $this->request->allowMethod(['post', 'delete']);
   $kon = ConnectionManager::get('SQLkonek');
   $user = $this->Users->get($id);
   $stm = $kon->execute(array(
                  ['SET @count = 0'],
                  ['DELETE FROM users WHERE ID = :ID'],
                  ['UPDATE users SET users.ID = @count:= @count + 1'],
                  ['ALTER TABLE users AUTO_INCREMENT =1']
               ))
               ->fetchAll('assoc');
   If($this->Users->$stm) {
         $this->Flash->success(__('Users success delete.'));
   } else {
         $this->Flash->error(__('User delete failed, try again.'));
   }
   return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);

The error message was shown

First of all, why don’t you use the CakePHP ORM for all of this?
Second of all, why are you fiddling with the user IDs like that?
Is there a specific reason you want to keep your user IDs in sequence?

Yeah, that’s not at all normal database usage. I understand the OCD urge to have everything sequential, but it has so many downsides that it’s really, really not worth trying to make it work.

It’ll get especially complicated once you get fiddling around with relations.
