ViewSheet number

I tried to change a sheet number via APi through this code:

 Transaction t = new Transaction(m_doc, "Do it");
            t.Start();
            FilteredElementCollector sheets = new FilteredElementCollector(m_doc).OfClass(typeof(ViewSheet));
            foreach (ViewSheet sht in sheets)
            {
                if (sht.SheetNumber.StartsWith("L20-")) sht.SheetNumber = sht.SheetNumber.Replace("L20-", "A");
            }
t.Commit();

and it successfully did the job, unfortunatly it didnot change the SheetView name, Although Changing Sheetnumber through UI is auto change View name. do i miss something?

What happens if you try to get the parameter Sheet Number and use Parameter.Set("A")

Yes it works. but strange isn't it?

just for clarification for other Collegues Statement should be like this:

  //sht.SheetNumber = sht.SheetNumber.Replace("L20-", "A");  <-- not to use

 sht.get_Parameter(BuiltInParameter.SHEET_NUMBER).Set(sht.SheetNumber.Replace("L20-", "A"));
