Looking at the documentation for the two sites, it would appear that tidy-maven-plugin has very little customization. It favors sorting top-level elements via the conventions outlined here, whereas sortpom has a lot of options that can help you customize the the way your pom gets sorted.

We use sortpom a lot where I work and it's made our poms look much cleaner and it's helped us organize our dependencies in each of our poms.
