Did you find the variable `org-agenda-sorting-strategy'? That offers a
lot of possibilities.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this, but would also be interested
to hear what it is.
Best,
Richard

Here's a quick function that works for me:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-org-agenda-change-sorting-strategy (strategy)
"Change the sorting strategy."
(interactive (list
(completing-read "Choose a strategy: "
(mapcar 'cdr (cdr org-sorting-choice))
nil t)))
;; adjust the following types as needed - e.g., add 'agenda, etc.
(org-agenda-check-type t 'todo 'tags 'search)
(let ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy (list (intern strategy))))
(org-agenda-redo)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I should add that with this function the new sort order is temporary.
Pressing "r" for refresh will restore the default sort order for the
buffer.

we have more or less instant tag filtering. i wonder if we could also
have instant sort order changing?
