Two things:
1) The SEQ number s the last tie-breaker after status and fare bucket, so it is important, but I woulnd't stress so much about it.
2) You are #11 because there are 10 other people checked in ahead of you, likely on connecting flights so their 23:59 window started from their initial flight, not from the flight you're checking in for. Even more fun is a continuation flight number where you can be number 80 for an ERJ or in the mid 200s for a 757/738. Those are interesting.
