Here's a quick function that works for me:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-org-agenda-change-sorting-strategy (strategy)
"Change the sorting strategy."
(interactive (list
(completing-read "Choose a strategy: "
(mapcar 'cdr (cdr org-sorting-choice))
nil t)))
;; adjust the following types as needed - e.g., add 'agenda, etc.
(org-agenda-check-type t 'todo 'tags 'search)
(let ((org-agenda-sorting-strategy (list (intern strategy))))
(org-agenda-redo)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
