Is "facetious" unique?

Question

Is "facetious" unique, as the only English word with all vowels appearing once, and in alphabetical order? Or, if you count Y as a vowel (as some do) does the same apply to "facetiously"?

Per RegDwighт♦'s answer to the question mentioned as a possible duplicate, abstemious also has all the vowels in order.

Both facetiously and abstemiously have the five usual vowels and also Y, with the vowels and Y appearing in alphabetical order.

Note: I'm uncertain whether the present question is a duplicate, so haven't voted to close it on that account. Even if it isn't a duplicate, it might be considered off topic, like the previous question.
