Hello everyone, I am pretty new to Perl and in the process of learning how to code using Perl. I am trying to do the following and don't know where to begin. Here is what I am trying to do. I have a file which will be read in line by line, each line is being place into an array. The file contains lines of text as shown below. 
#Comment
*ss id addr id: 099 bbb ccc aaa
*ss id addr id: 003 aaa bbb ccc
#Comment 2
*333 23 ss id: 002 aaa bbb ccc
*22 233333333 34432 233 44

What I am trying to do is sort the lines by the pattern "/id\:\s?(0-9)" and if a line does not contain the "sid: number" then just print the line as it is in the file. so the new output file would contain the following 
#Comment
*333 23 ss id: 002 aaa bbb ccc
*ss id addr id: 003 aaa bbb ccc
#Comment 2
*ss id addr id: 099 bbb ccc aaa
*22 233333333 34432 233 44

Thanks in advance for the help and please let me know if I need to clarify anything. thanks again
