Thank you very much for your input macropod, but this would be a very daunting task because the way I have a list is in the order I explained as seen in the following example.

Example:

3
Richard Coe
Farm Street

As opposed to how you have mentioned i.e. I assume the following:

3 Richard Coe Farm Street

Which you will note is the exact same name and address, however I would prefer my format because I have a 1000 of them and you will appreciate the daunting task in me having to put them in the order you have stated.

Unless of course there is a way in which to swiftly achieve the order you stated and however to put them back in the exact same format as I had them.
