AFAICT, it works fine on your first stackoverflow example.

There is probably no hope of getting this method to work the way you
want on your second example though: org-sort does not know anything
about the substructure of the table.  The only way I can think of is to
make the dynblock function that produces the table
(org-dblock-write:clocktable) do the sorting.
