Any particular order? ABC DEF GHI? or something else? How will
you decide if you want it in sets of 3 or 4? What format do you want
output. A,B,C in 1 column each followed by a blank column followed by,
D, E, F in 1 column each?

You need to provide more info on what you are trying to do.

I wanted it to sort as ABC, DEF, ...., without repeating a set. However, I took the time and sorted the sets. There are 171 ways to sort A-T without repeating a set, such as ABC and ABC. Now, I am wanting to seperate the sets into groups of 7 without repeating a set [(ABC, EFG, HIJ...)(KLM, NOP, QRS...)]. I fear I am going to have to do it manually.
