Default find, sort, and copy data

Hi, everybody,
I am desperately looking for a solution to do the following:
I have a list of students with courses they are taking. Unfortunately this
list (which is imported from another program) comes with all the courses
jumbled.
What I need is to automatically sort the courses in each line according to a
pre-defined order.
Example:
student A e1 c5 u7 a7
student B u7 e1 - c5
student C e9 u7 t8 -
should be turned into
student A a7 c5 e1 u7
student B - c5 e1 u7
student C t8 e9 - u7
The order of courses is not alphabetical, it depends on the timetable.
The first column should (for example) only contain courses t8, a7, u2
the second colum
c5, e9, k6.
