It fails because the block contains the two words:
[Damien Fabien]
not the two block to which they refer:
[ [ "Damien" 20 ] ["Fabien" 1] ]
So you are one level in indirection out. Try this:
person: make block! [ name age ]
damien: make person [ "Damien" 20 ]
fabien: make person [ "Fabien" 1 ]
list-of-person: [ Damien Fabien ]
age-comp: func [ a b ] [ (second get :a) < (second get :b) ]
sort/compare list-of-person :age-comp
