I think sorting by a arbitrary, unique value as the last sorting dimension is useful to ensure you always get the same ordering when first dimensions are equal. For instance sorting users by (last_name, first_name, user_id) ensures homonymous users don't move around in the list from request to request.
This is quite a sane thing to do, don't you think?
