I'm looking for the most efficient way to add an element to a comma-separated string while maintaining alphabetical order for the words:
For example:
string = 'Apples, Bananas, Grapes, Oranges'
subtraction = 'Bananas'
result = 'Apples, Grapes, Oranges'
Also, a way to do this but while maintaining IDs:
string = '1:Apples, 4:Bananas, 6:Grapes, 23:Oranges'
subtraction = '4:Bananas'
result = '1:Apples, 6:Grapes, 23:Oranges'
Sample code is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.
