Sorting within a record using AWK
Hello,
I have a file which has the following format: I have to do is sort individual records in the file based on the 4th field. Each record starts with "Module". Is there an easy way to do this using awk. I have tried piping output from awk to sort and also using "sort" inside awk but what happens is that the sorting happens for the entire file and the record-wise structure is compromised. Any suggestion is welcome.

Code:
Module :rtlc_BusSelWrap_rtl_copy_121_2_1_12 (rtlc_BusSelWrap_rtl_copy_121_2_1_12)
 M_RTL_MULT_UNS_12_2          1          0         NA
   M_RTL_RSHIFT_2_14          1          0         NA
Module :rtlc_AIMux_rtl_copy_189_4_144_18 (rtlc_AIMux_rtl_copy_189_4_144_18)
         M_RTL_EQ_32          8          8          0
             RTL_AND         28         18    55.5556
       M_RTL_DEC_4_2          2          2          0
             RTL_NOT         13          3    333.333
      M_RTL_PRIM_MUX        152       1044   -85.4406
          M_RTL_EQ_4          2          2          0
         M_RTL_NEQ_4          2          2          0
   M_RTL_RSHIFT_4_32          3          0         NA

The expected output is as follows:
Code:
Module :rtlc_BusSelWrap_rtl_copy_121_2_1_12 (rtlc_BusSelWrap_rtl_copy_121_2_1_12)
 M_RTL_MULT_UNS_12_2          1          0         NA
   M_RTL_RSHIFT_2_14          1          0         NA
Module :rtlc_AIMux_rtl_copy_189_4_144_18 (rtlc_AIMux_rtl_copy_189_4_144_18)
      M_RTL_PRIM_MUX        152       1044   -85.4406
         M_RTL_EQ_32          8          8          0
       M_RTL_DEC_4_2          2          2          0
          M_RTL_EQ_4          2          2          0
         M_RTL_NEQ_4          2          2          0
             RTL_NOT         13          3    333.333
              RTL_AND         28         18    55.5556
    M_RTL_RSHIFT_4_32          3          0         NA

module::build::platform::macos

Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		       Module::Build::Platform::MacOS(3pm)

NAME

       Module::Build::Platform::MacOS - Builder class for MacOS platforms

DESCRIPTION

       The sole purpose of this module is to inherit from "Module::Build::Base" and override a few methods.  Please see Module::Build for the
       docs.

   Overridden Methods
       new()
	   MacPerl doesn't define $Config{sitelib} or $Config{sitearch} for some reason, but $Config{installsitelib} and $Config{installsitearch}
	   are there.  So we copy the install variables to the other location

       make_executable()
	   On MacOS we set the file type and creator to MacPerl so it will run with a double-click.

       dispatch()
	   Because there's no easy way to say "./Build test" on MacOS, if dispatch is called with no arguments and no @ARGV a dialog box will pop
	   up asking what action to take and any extra arguments.

	   Default action is "test".

       ACTION_realclean()
	   Need to unlock the Build program before deleting.
