I can't seem to get the syntax right to do this apart from the obvious {{Sort[{1, 2}], Sort[{2, 1}], Sort[{1, 1}]}, {Sort[{1, 1}], Sort[{1, 1}], Sort[{1, 2}]}, {Sort[{2, 1}], Sort[{2, 2}], Sort[{1, 2}]}, {Sort[{2, 2}], Sort[{1, 2}], Sort[{2, 2}]}, {Sort[{1, 1}], Sort[{2, 1}], Sort[{1, 2}]}, {Sort[{1, 2}], Sort[{2, 2}], Sort[{2, 2}]}} I must have a blind spot for the correct command. Can someone please help me with what should be a straightforward sort. As I want to carry this out on several hundred thousand pairs I need a more efficient command. Thanks in advance.
