Concatenate function with "Sort" option

I often need to concatenate and sort strings that are on the same row.. Currently, the only way to do this in Alteryx is by transposing each string onto a separate row, sorting the rows, then summarising them back together.

 

I would love a new function in the Formula tool to concatenate strings. This function could allow you to choose a sort order (or no sort), and allow you to choose the concatenation separator

 

 

 

 

Concatenate("SortAscending",",",[Field1],[Field2],...)
