Looks correct, superficially, but the sort needs to happen after the split; sort @data when you've finished reading the input. And you attempt to read <IN> twice, but taking out the line where you assign @data = sort <IN> will fix that, too. (You need to leave the my @data declaration, of course.)
The field numbers don't match what was discussed earlier but I guess you know what you are doing there. Or maybe not? They are off by two so maybe you adjusted them the wrong way. Array indices are zero-based in Perl so the first field is [0], the second is [1], the third is [2], and so forth.

Reason: Explain zero-based indices a little bit more after all

wrap-and-sort
WRAP-AND-SORT(1) General Commands Manual WRAP-AND-SORT(1)
NAME
wrap-and-sort - wrap long lines and sort items in Debian packaging files
SYNOPSIS
wrap-and-sort [options]
DESCRIPTION
wrap-and-sort wraps the package lists in Debian control files. By default the lists will only split into multiple lines if the entries are
longer than 80 characters. wrap-and-sort sorts the package lists in Debian control files and all .install files. Beside that wrap-and-sort
removes trailing spaces in these files.
This script should be run in the root of a Debian package tree. It searches for control, control.in, copyright, copyright.in, install, and
*.install in the debian directory.
OPTIONS
-h, --help
Show this help message and exit.
-a, --wrap-always
Wrap all package lists in the Debian control file even if the entries are shorter than 80 characters and could fit in one line line.
-s, --short-indent
Only indent wrapped lines by one space (default is in-line with the field name).
-b, --sort-binary-packages
Sort binary package paragraphs by name.
-k, --keep-first
When sorting binary package paragraphs, leave the first one at the top. Unqualified debhelper(7) configuration files are applied to
the first package.
-n, --no-cleanup
Do not remove trailing whitespaces.
-d path, --debian-directory=path
Location of the debian directory (default: ./debian).
-f file, --file=file
Wrap and sort only the specified file. You can specify this parameter multiple times. All supported files will be processed if no
files are specified.
-v, --verbose
Print all files that are touched.
