TBD whether we'll do this in db or the backend

We've sorted the list alphabetically in the backend, so no need to sort in the google sheet

For the most part, the entries seem to be listed alphabetically, but there are some inconsistencies for example: 'Farringdon Road Pear Tree Court' appears after Paul Street and not under ‘F’. Also 'The Printworks' appears under T instead of P - though actually this is the name of the building and not the street name which is how we agreed to alphabetise the list. This is also the case for others including Moorfields which is on City Road, but is listed under M.

Thanks for the feedback @KatieRussellTBE. The behavior that you're noting was actually built in by us. If we only alphabetised by street name (instead of street name and building name) the user would see a building name such as 'Moorfields' in the section starting with 'Cs'. This is pretty confusing to a user as it wouldn't be clear that the list is indeed alphabetised so not a great practice.

Let us know your thoughts.

Thanks for clarifying on this, and that makes sense - I guess as there's no search function at the moment, it's a little difficult to say whether users will want to scroll and find a building by the building name, or the street address. Sometimes people may not know the building name, but will know which street it's on, so may be more inclined to look for that. I'll have a think and get back to you about this.
