sort will always look at the entire line once all the keys it's been given have compared equal.

That said, your desired sort result looks like sorting based on the first field followed by reverse sort on the second field. If that's not just a coincidence, this gives me the result you seek:
Code:
sort -k1,1 -k2,2r file
