It is consistent. Facet groups are always ordered in following way: 
'member', 'settings', 'memberof', 'managedby'. If some facet group 
doesn't have any facet, it isn't shown.  Changing the order can lead to 
the problem Endi pointed out:

The problem might be changed into two separate questions:
  * How to order the facet groups?
  * Which facet show as default when displaying record? Right now it is 
the first facet of first facet group (source of the problem).
