Probably the easiest way would be to use "TextToColumns", but since you
didn't post the exact format of your data, its difficult to suggest how you
could use this function.

However, since you state that the *last* five digits are the zip, enter this
in the next column and drag down to copy:
Assume data in column A:

=RIGHT(A1,5)

There is a problem with the Microsoft newsgroup interface.
Until it is fixed, you can search for replies to your

The answer Frank gave was:
'===========================
Hi

enter the following formula in column B
=RIGHT(A1,5)
and copy this down
Now sort with this helper column
