Sorting characters, ignoring numbers
Assuming you have only 1 number in front of the address
1. insert a column to the right and place the formula; which will return the
text value alone.
=IF(ISNUMBER(--LEFT(A1,1)),MID(A1,FIND(" ",A1)+1,100),A1)
2.Select both columns and sort by the inserted column
3. You can either keep this column hidden or delete after use.

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?
