Sorting facets by attrvaldesc.sequence will not result in the expected order when attribute values contains trailing white spaces. If you are sorting facet values by the attrvaldesc.sequence column(ie: facet.sort_order=2) and you notice the facet values are not in the order you expect, check the attrval.identifier column for the pertinent attribute values and see if they have trailing white spaces.

You can remove the trailing white spaces from the attrval.identifier column.
