I dealt with something like this before. I had to add an extra column, which held the line number, like:

Code:
1 101 100 1
1 001 200 2
1 002 100 3

...so that I could give that column number to sort, forcing groups of lines back into file order after other sorting conditions were satisfied.

Code:
$ awk '{ $(NF+1)=NR } 1' < inputfile | sort -k1,1 -k 3 -k 4

1 101 100 1
1 002 100 3
1 001 200 2

$ awk '{ $(NF+1)=NR } 1' < data | sort -k1,1 -k 3 -k 4 | cut -d ' ' -f 1,2,3

1 101 100
1 002 100
1 001 200

$
