NACA sections. What are they?

In a recent flight test article the writer noted the aircraft wing was based on an NACA 12345 section ( I made the numbers up).

What does this refer to , has someone taken every possible aerofoil cross section and numbered them.

Is the number just the next in sequence or does it tell you something about the wing?
