You have to convert your data string to list of lists and then sort the sublists by item index:
s = """\
27 4 220 16 0.76151102 1.06059456
27 4 220 17 0.61465055 0.90107796
27 4 221 22 0.81186094 1.12214581
27 4 223 28 0.69887889 0.98993400
27 4 225 30 0.74796748 1.04485376"""
# create list of lists from the data string
mylist = []
for line in s.splitlines():
temp_list = []
for item in line.split():
temp_list.append(eval(item))
mylist.append(temp_list)
print("Original lists:")
for sublist in mylist:
print(sublist)
print('-'*40)
print("Sorted by the 5th item:")
# inplace sort by the 5th item which is at index 4
ix = 4
mylist.sort(key=lambda x: x[ix])
for sublist in mylist:
print(sublist)
"""result=
