LCA appears to treat ordinal variables as nominal

When I run cluster analysis --> LCA with ordinal variables (numeric, ordinal), the probability formula appears to be treating the variables as nominal, rather than ordinal. For each variable, there are 5 levels (i.e., 1-5). If being treated as ordinal, wouldn't the probability formulas reflect an order for each level where 1 may have the smallest probability and 5 the largest? As you can see below and attached, this doesn't seem to be the case. Is there a setting or function I need to change to correct for this?
