They must do the first flight ones in one group (alphabetically by what you say) then the one it connects to. In this case DXB-BKK (or HKG) passengers all get their sequence numbers before the BKK-HKG ones. All my high ones seem to be on connecting flights when I've been on the second or higher leg. Other ones are arguably alphabetic (surname beginning with "A").
