Default Apostrophe at the start of a cell

I have a list of place names, some of which start with an apostrophe (e.g.
'Awarta, and 'Ashira) but Excel won't show the apostrphe - it keeps hiding it
even when I set the format to text. Not all names have an apostrophe and I
want to be able to sort in alphabetical order so that Anabta would come
before 'Awarta.

The only way I can think of is to put a space in fromt of every name. Doeas
anyone know how I can format the cell so that I don't have to have this space?
