Sorting characters, ignoring numbers

I have a list with a column of street addresses. I would like to sort by
street but ignore the house number.
for example is want the results to be:
123 Pine
456 Pine
145 Ross
668 Ross
NOT:
123 Pine
145 Ross
456 Pine
668 Ross
Any ideas?
Assuming all of your addresses are in this exact format (might be a poor
assumption), and that you would like a secondary sort by house number (rather
than completely ignoring it), add this in another column and sort by the result:
=TRIM(MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,LEN(A1))&" "&LEFT(A1,FIND(" ",A1)-1))
