[woooee]

IndexError: list index out of range

means that at least one of the items in "x" has less than 3 elements. Before the sort, run some code to print anything with less than 3 elements and decide what you want to do with those records.

Note also that this while loop will never exit because d[2] and field do not change, (and you can not write to read only file).

    while d[2]==field: 
        fid.write(d+'\n')
