I needed to do this to be able to sort HTML tables. I couldn’t find a way with standard computed columns, so I wrote my own plugin to do it. You’re welcome to use it or clone it.

Actually, because it was primarily written to work with HTML tables, it will need a minor tweak to work for your use case. If you examine the source, in `function.js` you’ll see the following line (31):

```auto
var joined = sorted.join('');

```

You would just need to tweak that line so that it inserts a delimiter.
