I have a mailing list that has a line in each address that looks like the examples below:

Anchorage, AK 99523-2416

Montville, NJ 07045-9601

San Francisco, CA 94110-5368

I would like to put the state abbreviation in the column next to it so I can sort by state. Ideally I wuld like to break out the city, state and zip. The state is the essential piece.
