Default How do I sort mailing addresses in Excel?

I have a mailing list that lists street addresses in the following format:

COLUMN C
1 Winding Way
10 Main Street
111 Douglas Court
2 Main Street
23 Douglas Court
200 Winding Way

Can I sort this column alphabetically by STREET?

Warning Back-Up or Save your data before trying this...

With your data in C2:C1000, say
Insert temporarily a new column AFTER C - Which will be D.
Enter into D1 =MID(C2,FIND(" ",C2),50)
and Copy down;
Then Copy D2:D1000, Then Paste-Special Values - Then Delete Col C

How about using 'text to columns'?

Data Text to Column Delimited next Click Space

You will end up with three columns. After you sort them by street, you can
put them together as:

C1 &" " &D1" " & E1
