This brace needs to be moved to follow the condition below

You should use a consistent indenting style rather than the
abstract art approach. See "perldoc perlstyle"

I fixed the error and reformatted thusly:

    foreach $sorted_field (@sorted_fields) {
        if ($Config{'print_blank_fields'} || $Form{$sorted_field}) {
            $_=$sorted_field;
            $field=m/\W(I\w)/;
            print "$field";
            if (($sorted_field eq '1')||($sorted_field eq '2')) {
                 print "$Form{$sorted_field}<br>";
            } elsif (($sorted_field ge '3') && ($sorted_field le '10')) {
                print "$Form{$sorted_field}<br>";
            } else {
                print "$Form{$sorted_field}";
            }
        }
    }

As a side note, the following test is suspicious:

  ($sorted_field ge '3') && ($sorted_field le '10')

This condition will always be false. Do you see why?
