Because you are sorting on these values:

Code:
11 14,12,08
11 14,04,12
11 14,07,46
11 14,18,50
12 13,58,08
12 14,14,18
12 14,13,27
12 14,11,43
12 16,57,45

The month in your data file is in short name format, so it will be hard to use sort to get it in proper date order. Have you considered numeric format for the month?

If you're stuck with that format you might have to do something horrible like this:
Code:
sed \
-e 's/-jan-/-01jan-/' \
-e 's/-feb-/-02feb-/' \
-e 's/-mar-/-03mar-/' \
-e 's/-apr-/-04apr-/' \
-e 's/-may-/-05may-/' \
-e 's/-jun-/-06jun-/' \
-e 's/-jul-/-07jul-/' \
-e 's/-aug-/-08aug-/' \
-e 's/-sep-/-09sep-/' \
-e 's/-oct-/-10oct-/' \
-e 's/-nov-/-11nov-/' \
-e 's/-dec-/-12dec-/' test | sort -t, -k 5.12,5.13 -k 5.4,5.5 -k 5.1,5.2 -k 5.15,5.22 | sed \
-e 's/-01jan-/-jan-/' \
-e 's/-02feb-/-feb-/' \
-e 's/-03mar-/-mar-/' \
-e 's/-04apr-/-apr-/' \
-e 's/-05may-/-may-/' \
-e 's/-06jun-/-jun-/' \
-e 's/-07jul-/-jul-/' \
-e 's/-08aug-/-aug-/' \
-e 's/-09sep-/-sep-/' \
-e 's/-10oct-/-oct-/' \
-e 's/-11nov-/-nov-/' \
-e 's/-12dec-/-dec-/'
