I think this code is very straightforward and easy to read. Good job!

Some nitpicks are,

You have a few PEP8 violations none all that concerning.

1. Should add a second white line between imports and your functions
2. Line too long, at your print statement
3. Continuation line under-indented for visual indent
4. printf style formatting is recommended against

Code suggestions

I would use a namedtuple instead of a dictionary, since it is much cleaner looking and easier to use. When to use a namedtuple!

Using the above suggestions and adhering PEP8 I get the following.

from re import split
from collections import namedtuple


def get_messages():
    Message = namedtuple('Message', 'idx num length message')

    while True:
        try:
            recv = split(r'\s+', input())
            yield Message(recv[0], recv[1], recv[2], ' '.join(recv[3:]))
        except EOFError:
            break


def main():
    packets = []
    for packet in get_messages():
        packets.append(packet)

    packets = sorted(packets, key=lambda x: (x.idx, x.num))
    for packet in packets:
        print("{}  {} {} {}"
            .format(packet.idx, packet.num, packet.length, packet.message))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

1. Should add a second white line between imports and your functions
2. Line too long, at your print statement
3. Continuation line under-indented for visual indent
4. Some other concerns are your use of printf statements.

• You use Python3 so why not use the fancy f"a string {the_item}" prints
• or even "a string {}".format(the_item) is better.
