Group & sort text by branch

[anon (am)]

Apologies for asking a simple one, but after a good amount of experimentation an elegant solution using default GH components eludes me, and in fact I don’t have a functional one at all.

I’m seeking to split up multiline text by specific strings, sort by those strings, regroup and branch for downstream uses. Imagine this is a list of staff in an office.

GH file attached below (with all the inelegant and ineffective experiments deleted).

Thanks for looking.

To take it a step further and group by group.

Exactly - I never thought to create a list of indexes for each occurrence of a single value. Sounds obvious and was. Thank you very much!
