The default is to sort by the Levenshtein distance  
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levenshtein_distance).  TL;DR: it is  
roughly sorted by how close the search string matches the results.

Results are returned from Turba in no specified order.  It is backend  
dependent, so there currently is no guarantee as to result order.
