Combined Text Summary Field (Order and Clean)

Question

The Combine Text summary field is great. But what I would like to do is determine the order -- Which I have achieved by creating a [Order] field within my child table....

[Combine Text Field] = 1 Group A, 2 GroupD, 3 GroupH, 4 GroupY, 5 GroupU, 6 GroupK

The new Ordered Combine Text Field is now ordered -- but I want to remove the numbers as well as ";" which is "hidden" in the combine text field.

Example: when I create a rich text formula field -- and only insert the [Combine Text Field] -- the field is displayed -- [Rich Text Formula fieldA] = 1 Group A, ; 2 GroupD, ; 3 GroupH, ; 4 GroupY, ; 5 GroupU, ; 6 GroupK

I would like for the field to display as =  Group A, GroupD, GroupH, GroupY, GroupU, GroupK

I was almost successful with the formula below -- but the formula would only display the first five Groups --- so if greater than 6 groups --- no luck -- also issue is I had "10" as a position...

Almost worked formula below = Group A, GroupD, GroupH, GroupY, GroupU,

List ("",
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),1,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),2,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),3,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),4,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),5,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),6,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),7,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),8,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),9,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),10,"123456789;"),
Part(ToText([Combined Text]),11,"123456789;"))

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

var text value = ToText([my combined text summary field]);

List(", ",
