Hammer & Screwdriver Here is one approach
I had to 'fix' your input file; spacing and number of - characters. I figured you planned for the header line to be a regular format.

Code:
> cat file1
/*--- abcd_0050 ---*/
asdfjk
adsfkja
lkjljgafsd

/*--- abcd_0005 ---*/
lkjkljbfkgj
ldfksjgf
dfkgfjb

/*--- abcd_0055 ---*/
klhfdghd
dflkjgd
jfdg

> cat file1 | sed 's/\/\*/#\/\*/' | tr "\n" "~" | tr "#" "\n" | sort | tr -s "~" | tr "~" "\n"

/*--- abcd_0005 ---*/
lkjkljbfkgj
ldfksjgf
dfkgfjb

/*--- abcd_0050 ---*/
asdfjk
adsfkja
lkjljgafsd

/*--- abcd_0055 ---*/

       standard input of this program.

EXAMPLES

       Sort domain policy
