How to sort the row in best possible way?

[Daniel_Ng0912]

Hi folks, I need a better mind to help me figure out how to solve this question.
This is our production planning sheet. Each row represents a production order to be produced and raw mat 1 until 5 is the material we needed to use. I need to manually sort each row to match the next row in terms of material used in the best possible way, which means, I need to sort raw mat 1 KLR175, KLR275, KLR275, LNT140, LNT140 for column X and vice versa for the rest until column AB. Is there any solution to sort by excel and give the best possible way for arranging because custom sort doesn't solve the problem. If you can get column P sequencing from 15 to 19, then you got the correct answer.
