Yes the best way would be to separate the first part of the string
You could use text to columns Data=>text to columns
Or use this
=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-SEARCH(" ",A1))
This will display anything after the first space in the string
Then you can sort
I would add another column at the right of existing data.
Assuming your address is in column A, enter in the new column
=MID(A2,FIND(" ",A2)+1)&" "&TEXT(LEFT(A2,FIND(" ",A2)-1),"0000")
This will reverse the data
Maple Avenue 0028
Then Mark your whole block of data but sort on the new Column
You will then Have the data sorted by Street, and by number within Street
(as long as numbers are less than 9999)
