In increasing order of difficulty...

Option 1:

Extend your comparator to sort first on the key you're actually
interested in, then if that key isn't different on the others
more-or-less arbitrarily.

Option 2:

Keep the data unsorted in a hash-set. Sort when you need sorted data,
e.g. for user presentation, by using a sort function that outputs a
seq. (Inefficient if the sort will then be performed often for a given
set.)

Option 3:

Implement your own sorted set type that handles sort-order collisions
by having plain sets as equality buckets, using deftype, gen-class, or
Java.

Option 4:

Convince Rich Hickey that having the built in sorted-set not deal with
order collisions (ala Option 3, above) is as silly as if he'd had
hash-set not deal with hash collisions. :)
