Are you limited to stream oriented tools (sed, awk, etc)?
There are other tools that come with linux that would possibly make the
job a bit easier. Things such as python & ruby.
At that stage you could build records/classes of each entry and sort
based on individual fields. (I'm not sure you can do these things in
awk)
As far as the 'bug' is concerned, I would suggest that you fix it.
Don't compensate for errors by covering them up - fix them and move on.

Thank you.
