Hello,

Given a vector v,

v = {b, a, b, b, c, d, e, d, f, d, c, b, c, g};

I would recommend the following method. First, append the positions to the
values:

vv = Transpose[{v, Range[Length[v]]}]

Next, sort and split into sublists of equal values.

vs = Split[Sort[vv],  First[#1] == First[#2] & ]

What you do next depends upon details I don't know.

Hope this helps.
