How can I alphabetize a text string?

I need to check a match between two output fields. The order of the data is inconsistent, and therefore ABC is not flagging as a match with CBA. I want to alphabetize the text strings so that the order is consistent and can be picked up via the equals or contains function in TestFilter.

Sort the characters.

Use StringSearcher with the RegularExpression (.{1,1}) and set a name for the Subexpression Matches List. Use a ListSorter on thatlist{}.part followed by a ListConcatenator on thatlist{}.part and a blank Separator Character.

 

I have attached a demo workspace that does that for you.
