Since multiplication is a pretty slow thing to do - wouldn't it be far
simpler - and _way_ more obvious - to code the sort this way?  This is how I
always do multi-key sorts, which is what this really is.

       select;
           when E1.Year < E2.Year;
                return -1;
           when E1.Year > E2.Year;
                return 1;
           other;
           select;
                when E1.Month < E2.Month;
                     return -1;
                when E1.Month > E2.Month;
                     return 1;
                other;
                     return 0;
           endsl;
       endsl;
