Combining chart bars with identical values, but in different order

I'm getting multiple data bars generated on my chart that have the exact same multi-select values, but are in a different order (see image)

How do I make the bar generation order-agnostic?

Add a calculated column that splits the text, sorts the elements alphabetically and then recombines them.

 

Please provide sample data in usable format (not as a screenshot) if you like more help.
