Loop through your input array,
splitting on whitespace into numbers and descriptions. Stuff them into a Hash-of-Arrays data structure, with descriptions as keys and numbers as arrays. Then loop through the HoA, printing as desired:
use strict;
use warnings;
my @ins = (
'00001 Description1',
'00002 Description2',
'00003 Description1'
);
my %data;
for (@ins) {
my ($num, $desc) = split;
push @{ $data{$desc} }, $num;
}
for (sort keys %data) {
print join("\t", @{ $data{$_} }), "\t$_\n";
}
__END__
00001 00003 Description1
00002 Description2
