+String dimension is sorted lexicographically, if an underlying Druid column is of a string type as well. However, if the Druid column type is long, it is sorted numerically in Turnilo - even for string dimensions (they should be castable to numeric ones). This is helpful, if you do not want value bucketing (which is turned on for numeric dimensions) and numerical sorting.
