I have groups of people. I need to move groups with at least one same member as far as possible from each other.

Example:

GroupA - John, Bob, Nick
GroupB - Jack, Nick
GroupC - Brian, Alex, Steve

As you can see GroupA and GroupB overlap(they both contain Nick) I need an algorithm to set groups as GroupA->GroupC->GroupB

Thank you
