I did something similar recently, possibly this code will help you out. Add it to your functions.php

add_filter('posts_orderby','my_sort_custom',10,2);
function my_sort_custom( $orderby, $query ){
    global $wpdb;

    if(!is_admin() && is_category()) 
        $orderby =  $wpdb->prefix."postsmeta.MY_META_KEY ASC, {$wpdb->prefix}posts.post_date DESC";

    return  $orderby;
}
