If an address was stored in one field how do you sort so that the
data is sorted by number and street? I want all addresses on the same
street to list together in numeric order.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Van is right. Do do that kind of sorting you will need to divide the
address information into various fields. I would suggest
Number
Street Name (I would include type as well like "Walnut Rd"
City
State
Zip
You also may want to add fields for international addresses and things like
PO Box (you may have that and have a street address) Room number or floor
number or building name. Take a good look at all the variations you now
have and consider what you may need in the future and what you may want to
sort on.
The problem with trying to pick stuff out of one field is there are too
many variations of address forms that it is almost impossible to pick out
say the street name other than doing it manually.
