which will be in around line no 86 add the following code after that

$this->_productCollection->joinField('rating_summary', 'review_entity_summary', 'rating_summary', 'entity_pk_value=entity_id', array('entity_type'=>1, 'store_id'=> Mage::app()->getStore()->getId()), 'left')

follow this procedure create a folder naming Inchoo and inside that folder place Catalog and inside catalog create 3 folders Block,etc and Model In Block add Product in Product add List and in List create a file and name it as Toolbar.php and ad this code into it

<?php
class Inchoo_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar
{
    public function setCollection($collection)
    {
        parent::setCollection($collection);

        if ($this->getCurrentOrder()) {
            if($this->getCurrentOrder() == 'qty_ordered') {
                $this->getCollection()->getSelect()
                     ->joinLeft(
                            array('sfoi' => $collection->getResource()->getTable('sales/order_item')),
                             'e.entity_id = sfoi.product_id',
                             array('qty_ordered' => 'SUM(sfoi.qty_ordered)')
                         )
                     ->group('e.entity_id')
                     ->order('qty_ordered ' . $this->getCurrentDirection());
            } else {
                $this->getCollection()
                     ->setOrder($this->getCurrentOrder(), $this->getCurrentDirection())->getSelect();
            }
        }

        return $this;
    }
}

now in etc folder create a file with name config.xml and add this code

<config>
    <modules>
        <Inchoo_Catalog>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </Inchoo_Catalog>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <blocks>
            <catalog>
                <rewrite>
                    <product_list_toolbar>Inchoo_Catalog_Block_Product_List_Toolbar</product_list_toolbar>
                </rewrite>
            </catalog>
        </blocks>
        <models>
            <catalog>
                <rewrite>
                    <config>Inchoo_Catalog_Model_Config</config>
                </rewrite>
            </catalog>
            <catalog_resource>
                <rewrite>
                    <product_collection>Inchoo_Catalog_Model_Resource_Product_Collection</product_collection>
                </rewrite>
            </catalog_resource>
        </models>
    </global>
</config>

Now in Model create a file naming Config.php and add this code.

<?php class Inchoo_Catalog_Model_Config extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Config
{
    public function getAttributeUsedForSortByArray()
    {
        return array_merge(
            parent::getAttributeUsedForSortByArray(),
            array('qty_ordered' => Mage::helper('catalog')->__('Sold quantity'))
        );
    }
}

also create Resource folder in Model and in Resource folder create Product folder and create a file naming Collection.php and add following code.

<?php
class Inchoo_Catalog_Model_Resource_Product_Collection extends Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Product_Collection
{
    protected function _getSelectCountSql($select = null, $resetLeftJoins = true)
    {
       $this->_renderFilters();
       $countSelect = (is_null($select)) ?
           $this->_getClearSelect() :
           $this->_buildClearSelect($select);

       if(count($countSelect->getPart(Zend_Db_Select::GROUP)) > 0) {
           $countSelect->reset(Zend_Db_Select::GROUP);
       }

       $countSelect->columns('COUNT(DISTINCT e.entity_id)');
       if ($resetLeftJoins) {
           $countSelect->resetJoinLeft();
       }
       return $countSelect;
    }
}

Now finally activate this module by going to app/etc/modules create a file Inchoo_Catalog.xml add this code.

and for SALE I suggest you this extension as I cannot find any programmatic way to achieve this.

I think the problem here is that there are some special code that needs to be run to sort by price.

If you take a look into the function setOrder on the model Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Product_Collection you will see that it does something "special" when dealing with the attribute price.

public function setOrder($attribute, $dir = 'desc')
{
    if ($attribute == 'price') {
        $this->addAttributeToSort($attribute, $dir);
    } else {
        parent::setOrder($attribute, $dir);
    }
    return $this;
}

My suggestion for you is to follow this example and try adding the sort by price in the same fashion and by calling addAttributeToSort.
