If you're trying to sort hierarchically using integers as id's, assuming the id's grow incrementally with time (say you were using local_seq), the arrays will naturally sort numerically, whereas strings are going to sort alphanumerically, meaning 2, 3, 22, 33 vs "2", "22", "3","33".
Hence, [ 1, 2 ] [ 1, 3 ] [ 1, 3, 10 ] [ 1, 22 ] [ 1, 22, 4 ] [ 1, 22, 5 ] Which is what I think your intended sort order?
