Hello,

I'm trying to filter a string so that I can sort it. The problem is
that these strings appear after each other and I can't use cut/sort
that way.

The general answer to "I'm using the primitive tools [*] and I can't do X"
is "Stop using the primitive tools" and start using a real tool, such as AWK.

[*] grep, cut, tr, sed, comm, sort, join, etc, etc.
