Workaround

Use a text field to create the .style file. When loading the .style file on the Symbology tab of the Layer Properties window, be sure to select the text field from the Value drop-down menu.Add a sequential numeric attribute to the feature class:1) Use the Frequency tool, Specify a unique identifier as the frequency field. The defaults will be fine for the rest.2) Add the frequency table to the display.3) Open the frequency table and add a short integer field, let's call it NUMBER for now.4) Calculate the NUMBER field to equal the OID in the frequency table.5) Right-click the frequency table and join it to the feature class based on the unique field used in frequency.6) Export the joined frequency table to make the join permanent.7) Add the exported table to the display.8) Remove all fields from the joined table except the unique identifier field and the NUMBER field.9) Right-click the feature class and join the latest edition of the joined frequency table (the one with only a couple of fields).10) You can now symbolize based on the sequential NUMBER field.
