125CA(125)
156|256GH(256)|HR(156)
158|258|658OP(658)|AGM(258)|VP(158)
489|894CO(489)|CDF(894)
256JA(256)

Expected output

IDNames
123AB(123)
125CA(125)
156|256HR(156)|GH(256)
158|258|658VP(158)|AGM(258)|OP(658)

Another solution with Table.ReplaceValue

 

= Table.ReplaceValue(PrevStep,each [ID],each [Names],(a, b, c)=> 
Text.Combine(
List.Sort(
Text.Split(c,"|"),
(x,y) =>
Value.Compare(
List.PositionOf(Text.Split(b, "|"), Text.BetweenDelimiters(x, "(", ")")),
List.PositionOf(Text.Split(b, "|"), Text.BetweenDelimiters(y, "(", ")"))
)
),
"|"
),
{"Names"})

Hi,

 

 

let 
Source = Table.FromRows(Json.Document(Binary.Decompress(Binary.FromText("NY1BDoMwDAT/kpMtcYHi4BxdKkCVEFFb9YL4iR/fDaG39exove+h7W6hCXYnBA5HU4iAjAYiF5HonUTQeSEE9uVFgP9W0apHURhbJgR2m1eoCN8MVavaa3JNfZnfCAf7+JgIpNb1x9POHycZVDzpUPbRZPsQLvZsdfttBAPq8QM=", BinaryEncoding.Base64), Compression.Deflate)), let _t = ((type nullable text) meta [Serialized.Text = true]) in type table [ID = _t, Names = _t]),
Fn_Sort = (Text1 as text, Text2 as text) as text=>
Text.Combine(
List.Sort(
Text.Split(Text2,"|"),
(x,y) =>
Value.Compare(
Text.PositionOf(Text1,Text.BetweenDelimiters(x, "(", ")")),
Text.PositionOf(Text1,Text.BetweenDelimiters(y, "(", ")"))
)
),
"|"
),
Sort = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Names_Sort", each Fn_Sort([ID], [Names]))
in
Sort
