An alternative to the ST is a GRT.

In a do block read the data with no line buffering from a filehandle (in this script a HEREDOC) and split into records at points not preceded by start of string (to avoid an empty first record) and followed by the ">>>" which starts each record. Each record passes into a map where the digits preceding the % sign are captured then packed as a 32-bit network order value (logical NOT applied as we want descending numerical order) concatenated with the whole record packed as a string. This is then passed to a simple lexical sort and then into a second map which unpacks the record by skipping the first four bytes which is the number used to sort. The script ...

use strict;
use warnings;

open my $fh, q{<}, \ <<__EOF__ or die qq{open: < HEREDOC: $!\n};
