Hmmm.
If your 'creation' timestamp is the only inactive timestamp, you won't
need a special property; org-entry-get should give you the right one.
I am not good at this, but what about something like:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-agenda-sort-by-inactive-timestamp (a b)
"Sort by interactive timestamp. Oldest first, items without any ts at the bottom."
(let* ((ma (or (get-text-property 1 'org-marker a)
(get-text-property 1 'org-hd-marker a)))
(mb (or (get-text-property 1 'org-marker b)
(get-text-property 1 'org-hd-marker b)))
(tsa (org-entry-get ma "TIMESTAMP_IA"))
(tsb (org-entry-get mb "TIMESTAMP_IA"))
(ta (when tsa (date-to-time tsa)))
(tb (when tsb (date-to-time tsb))))
(cond ((eq tsa nil) +1)
((eq tsb nil) -1)
((time-less-p ta tb)
-1)
((time-less-p tb ta)
+1)
(t nil))))
(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(("x" "Tasks" todo ""
((org-agenda-overriding-header "Tasks sorted by
TIMESTAMP_IA")
(org-agenda-cmp-user-defined 'my-agenda-sort-by-inactive-timestamp)
(org-agenda-sorting-strategy
'(user-defined-up)))
)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Does that work?
If you use :logbook:, entries within will 'override' your inactive
timestamp at the end of the entry. A special CREATED property would be
useful in this case.

Definitely not :).
