We might need to sort on more qualifiers than just P585. This is becoming an issue for P39 claims, where it's not unknown for someone to have 10-20 claims or even more if they had a long career (especially in politics where they might hold a lot of different official posts and elected offices).
These tend to use P580/P582 (start/end) rather than point in time, so it would be good if this sorting could also take advantage of those dates. Other properties that require sorting might possibly use P571/P576 (inception/dissolution), though I can't offhand think of any examples that use those on a large scale.
Probably the best approach here is to sort all claims by the P585, P580 and P571 qualifiers in some way - start dates are more likely to be available than end dates, especially if something is "current", and it makes conceptually a bit more sense to sort by when something began rather than when it ended.
