Currently they are stored after being formatted in a string, resulting in lexicographic ordering when iterating through them. This is slightly counter-intuitive at first and can limit operations that operate over the full list of sequences by iterating through the stored values. (Pruning is a recent example).
Opening issue to keep track of idea.
