As has been suggested you can split the street number from
the address into 2 separate fields. I'd use Text to Columns
from the Data menu, and pick Fixed_width. Remove any
separators after the first one - if any.
Sort by name, then by number ascending from the Sort menu.

Hi Rick,
It can be easily done just by splitting the street number
and name into
different columns and sort them as usually. Then you can add
third
column with concatenate function in it and hide the first
two columns.
That's it.

Elkhan.

I need to sort by street name:
200 Capriole Court
200 RainTrailee Court
201 Capriole Court
201 Oaklawn Drive
201 RainTrailee Court
202 Gallant Court
Needs to be:
200 Capriole Court
201 Capriole Court
202 Gallant Court
201 Oaklawn Drive
200 RainTrailee Court
201 RainTrailee Court
Question is how to keep the numeric address and street name
and sort on
the
street name.
Thank you in advance.
Rick Parker
