As far as I understand it, time-up sorts only by time of day in the
agenda view. I.e., it will place items that have been scheduled for a
particular hour at the top of the agenda.

Here's some info from the docstring:

,----
| time-up            Put entries with time-of-day indications first, early first
| time-down          Put entries with time-of-day indications first, late first
| 
| Pull out all entries having a specified time of day and sort them,
| in order to make a time schedule for the current day the first thing in the
| agenda listing for the day.
`----

There is the possibility of using a user-defined function. Perhaps you
could use that to sort by date.

,----
| user-defined-up    Sort according to `org-agenda-cmp-user-defined', high last.
| user-defined-down  Sort according to `org-agenda-cmp-user-defined', high first.
`----

Best,
Matt
