And second push send CC#22 and after CC#23 ... What can i do?

One solution -

Make the buttons that send the individual commands.  For this, you prolly want the SEND ON ONLY option.  Test the individual buttons send desired commands.

Make a knob control, make SUPERCONTROL, assign the buttons above as subcontrols in the desired order.  If they get out of order, you can edit to move into desired order.

Make the button to receive your footswitch command, type MOMENTARY.  Make it a SUPERCONTROL of the knob, options as supercontrol, either stepper (no wrap around) if you want it to stop at the end, or (wrap around) if you want to loop back the first when it hits the last.

If you move the footswitch button to the pedalboard, then you can have different sequences on separate pages.

Great answer. The constraint here is that that OP wants different CC's on each push. So another way to think about this -- and I'm not 100% sure this can work -- is to use the transpose knob and step through that AND press a button... Might require some more interstitial controls to get it all moving properly. Also I'm not 100% sure that transpose can work on CC's...
