In alphabetic filing order, numbers are usually arranged before letters, and "The" is often disregarded if it's the first word. Therefore, "1950 Appliance Market" comes first, followed by names starting with "A". "Kerry P. Apple" comes before "Apples & Bananas Bakery" because individual names precede business names when they are otherwise identical alphabetically. "The Appliance Store" is placed after ignoring "The".
