Sorting street address

[Tom S.]

I would like to sort a column with street addresses by
street name. However, Excel sorts by the street number
first. How can I put the streets in order by street name
then street number?

Tom,

Split the number and names in separate helper columns, and sort on those
columns.

For instance, if A1 has the address, in B1, put

=LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1)

and in C1 put

=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-LEN(B1)-1)

and sort on C and then B
