Sure, you can specify multiple sort fields. If the first sort field results in a tie, then the second is used to resolve. If both first and second match, then the third is used to break the tie.
Note that relevancy is tricky to include in the chain because it's infrequent to have two docs with exactly the same relevancy scores, so wherever relevancy is in the chain, sort criteria below that probably will have very little effect. You could probably write some custom code to munge the relevancy scores into buckets, say quintiles, but that'd be somewhat tricky. What is the use case for your sorting?
