I assume I should have gotten an error on the use command since the k_seqno index does not exist. Worse, the index is set to the wrong field. This just cost me a few hours of hair pulling.

You dont need the extra parentheses, just:
use bsmemo order "k_seqno"
or even (to be absolute certain):
use "bsmemo" order "k_seqno"
