I've just merged [PR #232](https://github.com/elastic/apm-agent-php/pull/232) and it should now be done automatically for all the spans.  
Please give it a try.

By sequence do you refer to the index at the beginning of each line?  
If so there is [an issue](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/80949) to have APM UI format stack trace from PHP Agent in the way idiomatic to PHP.
