Nice! And with just a bit more, we have a clean, sorting DSL:

(def asc compare)
(def desc #(compare %2 %1))
;;  compare-by generates a Comparator:
(defn compare-by [& key-cmp-pairs]
  (fn [x y]
      (loop [[k cmp & more] key-cmp-pairs]
         (let [result (cmp (k x) (k y))]
              (if (and (zero? result) more)
                  (recur more)
                  result)))))

(sort (compare-by :last-name asc, :date-of-birth desc) coll)
