My first posting did not state the problem completly.

Take

blah1 vv ss + blah2 vv ss + 
blah3 vv aa + blah4 vv aa +
blah5 ss aa + blah6 ss aa
Collect[%,{ss vv,vv aa,ss aa}]

this produces

aa blah5 ss + aa blah6 ss + aa blah3 vv + aa blah4 vv + 
  blah1 ss vv + blah2 ss vv

although I want

aa vv(blah3+blah4) + ss vv(blah1+blah2) + ss aa(blah5+blah6)

Collect[%,{ss,vv,aa}]

produces

aa (blah3 + blah4) vv + ss 
   (aa (blah5 + blah6) + (blah1 + blah2) vv)


which is not what I want.
