Numerical Sort Problem

I have a small worksheet that has first name, last name, address, phone and email. I am trying to sort numerically by the address, i.e. 2899 East 144th Avenue #101 Brighton MD 04001. All entries in that column are NUMBERS. When I sort A-Z I get a column sorted different than the original but still not correct. I have tried changing the entries in that column to TEXT instead but get the same exact results. All cells are the same height. I can go to different worksheets with basically the same layout and they sort correctly. This one has me more than baffled. Even changed the "#" to "Unit" but that did not help either. Any clues for me to try now? Thanks.
