Using a hash lookup to specify the order; and a GRT to make it somewhat efficient: 

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use Inline::Files;
use Data::Dump qw[ pp ];

my $n = 0;
my %order = map{ chomp; $_ => ++$n } <FILE2>;

my @data = <FILE1>;

my @sorted = map{
    unpack 'x4A*', $_;
} sort map {
    my( $key ) = m[(^[^;]+);];
    pack 'NA*', $order{ $key } // 2**31, $_;
} @data;

pp \@sorted;
