cat /proc/swaps 
Filename				Type		Size	Used	Priority
/dev/sdc2                               partition	50331644	0	1
/dev/sda6                               partition	50331644	0	-1

Your fstab is clearly different in many aspects:
- you use "mapper"
- there are no 0 0 at the end of the line for swap2
- you don't use the keyword "nofail"

Title:
  Swapon does not respect fstab priorities order

Status in util-linux package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  uname -a
  Linux msi-ge60-ubuntu 4.2.0-18-generic #22-Ubuntu SMP Fri Nov 6 18:25:50 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

  
  sudo swapon --summary
  Filename				        Type		Size	                Used	Priority
  /dev/sdc2                              	partition	50331644	0	        -1
  /dev/sda6                              	partition	50331644	0	        -2

  However, in /etc/fstab:
  # swap was on /dev/sda6 during installation
  UUID=4870beef-bb2c-40c1-91da-f1444f90c51b none            				swap    sw,nofail,pri=-1  0       0

  # swap on SSD Samsung  /dev/sdc2
  UUID=fa2b8ce4-6ce7-4fb2-ac12-475264bed20f none            				swap    sw,nofail,pri=-2  0       0

  Does the fact that sdc2 is a SSD makes swapon override the fstab priorities? 
  It is suspicious that swapon prints sdc2 first in the summary. despite the following facts:
  - sdc2 priority is -2 in fstab
  - sdc2 is declared after sda2 in fstab
  - sdc2 is after sda2 in alphabetical order
