No, because Rev doesn't move lines if they have the same value on the sort
expression. So two sort commands in succession have the desired effect - the
first establishes a secondary sort, the second imposes the primary sort.

However as Yves points out it would be better to have replaced "word 2 of
each" with "last word of each".
Mark's does indeed work (if his fingers hadn't misrepresented what his mind
knew) and is probably faster - but depends on having zero padding of the
month/date so that alpha sorting will equate to numeric sorting.
