If I understand correctly, the following untested version of your code
should do what you ask. Otherwise, you need to be more specific.
lis = []
fh = open('chromosome_location_346010.bed','r')
for line in fh.readlines():
data = line.strip().split('\t')
start = data[1].strip()
end = data[2].strip()
probe_id = data[3].strip()
lis.append((start,end),probe_id)
lis.sort()
tjr
