Custom Views Sort Order Using Filter Value

I have a View containing a list of events. There is a date field on the event content type which contains start and end time:

enter image description here

There is a filter for start time, which is setup using the Views Between Dates Filter:

enter image description here

This means that entering 11:00am in the filter will ensure that the event with time 10:00 AM to 3:00PM exists in the results since 11 falls between 10 and 3.

The full result set might look like the following when using 11am for the filter:

7am to 3pm 8am to 12pm 9am to 11:30pm 11am to 12:00pm 11am to 1pm

How can I create a custom sort, such that the exact matches for start time are ordered first? These are the results I need:

11am to 12:00pm 11am to 1pm 7am to 3pm 8am to 12pm 9am to 11:30pm

Is there a way to create a custom sort handler for views using filter values?

EDIT: I’d hoped I could use hook_views_post_execute to re-order the data but I’m using a pager, so only the first 10 results exist in $view->result
