hi monks, This is my program. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
open(FILE,"/Downloads/inputfile.txt") or die $!;
while(<FILE>){
($col1,$col2,$col3,$col4,$col15,$col6,$col7)=split(/\s+/,$_);
@list=sort($col1,$col2,$col3,$col4,$col15,$col6);
print @list;
print "\n";
}
close (FILE);

my input file is like this
c1p110    c2p452    9p235    8p226    5p100    6p218
c1p278    2p397    c6p280    7p273    3p409

my out put be like this
1       2       3         4     5       6        7      
c1p278    2p397    3p409            c6p280    7p273
c1p110    c2p452            5p100    6p218

the out put should be displayed on particular column and also only the list which is having 2p397,2p409 like p element should be sorted only for p elements not for c Thanks in advance
