This works :

CREATE TABLE foo (id serial, data_text text);

INSERT INTO foo (data_text) values ('AUTO; BODY; PREDILUTED; ECD FORM;
RABBIT; FORMAT; CHROMOGENIC'), ('ECD FORM; BODY; PREDILUTED;
CHROMO-GENIC; AUTO; RABBIT; FORMAT'), ('FORMAT; ECD FORM; AUTO');

WITH t1 AS (SELECT id, unnest(string_to_array(data_text, '; ')) FROM foo
ORDER BY 1, 2),
t2 AS (SELECT id, array_agg(unnest) over (PARTITION BY id) AS reordered
FROM t1)
SELECT t2.id, array_to_string(t2.reordered, '; ') FROM t2 GROUP BY id,
reordered;

Result :

id | array_to_string
----+----------------------------------------------------------------
1 | AUTO; BODY; CHROMOGENIC; ECD FORM; FORMAT; PREDILUTED; RABBIT
2 | AUTO; BODY; CHROMO-GENIC; ECD FORM; FORMAT; PREDILUTED; RABBIT
3 | AUTO; ECD FORM; FORMAT
