Solution 1

STRING_SPLIT (Transact-SQL) - SQL Server | Microsoft Docs[^]
Available in SQL Server 2016 and later.

SQL

-- Sort the values:
SELECT value FROM STRING_SPLIT(@temp, ',') ORDER BY value;

-- Remove duplicates:
SELECT DISTINCT value FROM STRING_SPLIT(@temp, ',');

If you're using an earlier version of SQL Server, Google will find you an alternative string splitting function.
