How do I sort with spaces? I have spaces between my numbers and dates and names and would like to sort them without using a VBA formula.

You can use the TRIM and CLEAN functions to remove unneeded spaces and store the result in a separate column. After that, use the new column to sort. (See the TechNet article Formula Watch: TRIM and CLEAN your Excel data.)

If needed, simply hide the temporary column or delete it completely after sorting

(I seem to recall that it took me way longer than two months to accrue my first 1000 rep points.) I’m glad to see that you’re using some clever Markdown tricks. FYI, see the above for a slight improvement on your technique — you don’t need to have the empty
