Sorting Address Field By Its Component Parts

The file of about 30,000 records contains an address field where addresses are entered in the following form:

128 NW 8 ST
3444 SW 19 AVE
32 SE 122 TERR
12604 SW 148 PL

Then there are anomalies such as
123 E BLVD
(I can ignore the anomalies until the main challenge is overcome.)

The challenge is that I have been asked to sort the addresses in the following order:

quadrant (e.g., NW, SW),
street number (e.g., 122),
street name (e.g., TERR)
house number (e.g., 128)

It seemed like I should create a view that can be updated regularly, as records will be added/deleted ongoing.

How do I get these part into a four-column view? Or, is there another way to do this?
