Google Spreadsheet Sorting Address Alphabetically

Question:

( by michelle human )

How can I change a column from listing numerically to alphabetically without having to retype each cell they are street addresses and I want them alphabetical by street not by house number.

Solution:

Have a look at the following screenshot:

I have the following formula in Cell B2:

=sort(A2:A)

I have the following formula in Cell C1:

=query(arrayformula(if(A:A="";"";if({1,0};REGEXEXTRACT(A:A;"[A-Za-z]{1,}");A:A)));"select Col2 where Col1<>'' order by Col1";1)

I hope the above solution will help you, and if you need more help then please do comment below on this blog itself, I will try to help you out.
