How to Put Files in Order of Their Addresses

If you love to organize your office and you work with addresses often, then you may benefit from developing a file system in which you organize by street address. This kind of organization system would work well for someone working in city government, city planning or city road construction. You can cross-reference an alphabetical filing system with a street name system if this kind of detail would benefit your work.
