To add to Gord's suggestion, when using TTC, you can leave the original data
column *untouched*, therefore eliminating the need to "rejoin" the
separated, "sorting" columns.

In the third window of the TTC wizard, there's a "Destination" box, with the
address defaulted to that of the original column.
Simply change that to an adjoining column, and the original will remain as
is.

Then just include the original in the sort range, and you'll then have a
choice to keep or discard all or just some of those separated columns.

BTW, you should follow Gord's advice and use the "split" data columns ...
that's just good "practice".

A simple method is to break out the addresses into separate columns then
sort
on the street name column.

Select the column with the address(make sure you have a few empty columns
to
the right of the data column).

DataText to ColumnsDelimited by space and finish.

Select all the columns and sort on street name.

Best to leave them split out that way. Most apps you export to like them
in
separate cells.

You can stick them back into one cell after the sort if you wish.

=A1 & " " and B1 & " " & C1
