Just guessing what might be the sort criteria, this gets you quite near your desired output:
Code:
awk '
!T[$0]++ && !/,/        {FN = $0
                         if (CMD) close (CMD)
                         CMD = "sort -t, -k1,1r -k2,2 - > " FN
                        }
$0 != FN                {print | CMD}
' file ; for x in 20*; do echo $x; cat $x; done
