The doing of that by script is trivial. The script can either do it the same way you did or it can use a library as a temporary storage space.

I go back to my first question: how will the script know which group to add to the existing story? Where are they now? Should it look at every group on a page and assume that their current arrangement communicates the order in which they should be processed?

Have you made any attempt to script this yet? If so post what you've got and people will be able to help you. If not, then provide a lot more detail and people might be able to help you.

The issue is not the scripting but the management of the data. Where are the groups right now? How does the script know what order they should be in? Is there a field in each group by which they should be arranged alphabetically -- if so, that too can be done.
