Default Comparison of alphanumeric string

Hi,

I want to comapre alphanumeric string in two different columns irrespective
of sequence.

Ex:
Column A Column B Expected Result
ABCD1234 PQRS3456 TRUE
PQRS3456 IJKL456 FALSE
WXYZ6789 EFGH5678 TRUE
EFGH5678 MNOP2345 FALSE

I need formula which will compare strings in column A and column B and if
the values are matching it should display as true otherwise false.

One value of cells needs to be searched or compared with all cells of other
column irrespective of sequence.

If possible formula should not be case sensitive.

There will be addition, deletion of members.

I tried following two furmula:
Following 2 formulas can be used:

OR(EXACT(TestValue, CompareRange))

EXACT(B2,C2)

but it does not provide proper result incase strings are not in sequence.

Thanking you in anticipation.
