This isn't as concise as the first example above, but it's an example of how to use a Schwartzian Transform (which I'm just beginning to learn).

use strict;
use warnings;
my @data = ('#Comment', '*ss id addr id: 099 bbb ccc aaa', '*ss id add
+r id: 003 aaa bbb ccc', '#Comment', '*333 23 ss id: 002 aaa bbb ccc',
+ '*22 233333333 34432 233 44');
my @id= ();
foreach my $entry (@data){
  if($entry =~ /id:/){
    push(@id, $entry);
  }
}

my @sortedid = sort {$a->[1] <=> $b->[1]} map{[$_,/id:\s*(\d+)/]} @id;
foreach my $entry (@data){
  if($entry =~ /id:/){
    my $sort = shift(@sortedid);
    print $sort->[0];
  }else{
    print $entry;
  }
  print "\n";
}

Produces the same output as above:

#Comment
*333 23 ss id: 002 aaa bbb ccc
*ss id addr id: 003 aaa bbb ccc
#Comment
*ss id addr id: 099 bbb ccc aaa
*22 233333333 34432 233 44
