One file has two different records of different layouts,
Consider the Group AAAAA, has sort pos as :POS(6 to 15)[ID] and POS(16 to 25 )[PHONE].
Consider the Group BBBBB, has sort pos as : POS(11 to 20)[ID] and POS(21 to 30 ).[PHONE]

Last I looked 6-15 and 16-25 would be 20 characters but you show 29 characters. At any rate, I think I understand what you want now and here's a DFSORT job that will do it. I assumed your input file has RECFM=FB and LRECL=80, but the job can be changed appropriately for other attributes:

I think you want to sort the file based on some fields which are in different positions for different group of records and the group of records can be identified by a particualr field(s). If this is the one you want, the following sort card will help you.
Assuming a file with length of 80 and group of records can be identified by field in position 1 and length 5.
