Not sure if this helps (it does not answer your question directly): There are two places in org-sort-entries-or-items (which is called by org-sort under the conditions at hand) where a regexp, org-ts-regexp, is used when sorting-type is selected to be ?t: one is for when you are sorting plain lists and the other is when you are sorting top-level entries or the active region. If you change the relevant instance of org-ts-regexp to org-ts-regexp-both, it will match both active and inactive timestamps and sort appropriately. I have not tried to figure out what happens if there are multiple timestamps, active or inactive, in an entry. But if you just have a single inactive timestamp per entry, as you have indicated above, that should work.
