Do the first two really look like that? I'd have thought the sort order
for an index level would need to be specified at that level, e.g.:

70 mm stud[070 mm]:roller locations
90 mm stud[090 mm]:roller locations

And to control sort order of the second-level entries, I'd think this
would work:  

studs:70 mm roller locations[070 mm] 
studs:90 mm roller locations[090 mm]

But I'm guessing -- no promises. :-)
