Sorted String İnput: 1, 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3, 3A, 4, 5, 6, 32C, 32D, 50, 51/1, 51/2, 60, 61, 62, 200-2E, 200-2F, 200-2G, 200-2H, 201C, 201/21P, 201/21R, 201/21S,300,300A,301-2A, 542/2K, 542/2L,583-1, 583-585D, 583-585E, 605, 605A, 605B,605C 800A.
Question is about merging consecutive values into a range. E.g. 4,5,6 are consecutive values, so range is [4-6], and 2A, 2B, 2C are consecutive values, so range is 2[A-C]. No other values can be in a range.

My code output= merged: [1, 2, 2A, 2B, 2C, 3, 3A, [4-6], 32C, 32D, 50, 51/1, 51/2, [60-62], 200-2E, 200-2F, 200-2G, 200-2H, 201C, 201/21P, 201/21R, 201/21S, 300,300A,301-2A,542/2K, 542/2L,583-1, 583-585D, 583-585E, 605, 605A, 605B,605C 800A]
for example, I sorted 4,5,6 consecutive values in the range [4-6].
I have done consecutive numbers “[]” in this format but I couldn’t make the letters. Sorted list should not be disrupted.
Expected output is to only combine ranges for the trailing alphabets. 3A “,” 4A “and” 5A numbers are consecutive but not letters.So it won’t be sorted.for example : 3A 4B 5C = [3-5][A-C]
Values that are pure numbers can be in a range, e.g. [8-11]. Values that only differ by a letter at the end can be in a range. If the trailing letters are consecutive, they must be sorted.e.g 200-2E, 200- 2F, 200-2G, 200-2H =>200 [E-H]
e.g 200-2E, 200- 2F, 200-2H => 200-2[E-F] , 200-2H. It’s broken.
“51/1” ve “51/2” “51 / [1-2]” No need to edit it.
I have to check the end of the value.
If there is a letter at the end of the value and the next value is a consecutive letter, I must include them in the range.
