You can coax a Schwartzian transform into doing this work for you:

use strict;
use warnings;

    
map{print $_->[0]}
sort{$a->[1] <=> $b->[1] || $a->[2] <=> $b->[2]}
map{[$_, (split /\t/)[2], (split /\t/)[3]]}
<DATA>;

Thank you, scorpio17, for the extended data set; and the sorting routine here is essentially the same as yours.

Hope this helps!
