I think I'd still want chronological ordering at least as an option, even with this sort of setup. Definitely when browsing users' post I have no interest in seeing them ordered by likes and a lot of interest in seeing them ordered by time, though I don't see any problem with offering both options.
Three possible thoughts on the issues this might create: First, I imagine a lot of convoluted etiquette around how things are reblogged. Reblogging something in a way that doesn't collapse tidily is likely to scan as being much "ruder", which could create weird incentives. Second, users in very different time zones are going to have a very different experience using the site simply because the rollover time will fall at a different time of day for them. Thirdly, I think conversations might get confusing simply because you'd have a lot more lengthy cross-replies -- it's easy to imagine a thread where each of 4 people responds individually to each of the other 3, just because you have no feedback on who's replying to what and a lot of time to draft posts.
