I wonder how many other ATC systems around the world are capable of confusing the Controller in this way?

I know I can say "been there, done that".
(thankfully without losing separation)

I can tell you that "Skyline" as used in NZ has no function for unjumbling labels.

Having said that, I have seen controllers transpose the data in their head and issue instructions to the wrong aircraft even when the information presented to them was clear.
