Default Sorting data in a cell alphabetically

I have several cells in a column. Each of the cells in that column contain
several codes that are seperated by a space. I need a quick way of
rearranging those codes in alphabetic order. I have a somewhat manual process
now where I copy the cell contents out of the the cell onto another worksheet
and then do a text to columns function and then sort the resulting row and
then concatenate the cells in that row and re-copy the concatenated cell back
to the original worksheet but that takes a lot of time when you have several
hundered cell to do this to. I'm starting to learn macros and have bought a
couple of book on the topic. I'm sure there is a way to totally automate the
process but I'm not sure how. Does anyone have any code suggestions?

Below is a sample of one of my cells.
