Merging fields for display doesn't preclude sorting by the merged fields, which may or may not be trivial depending on the UI libraries being used. But if the user wants to sort by state, it's worth finding out why. Is it so they can "simply" scroll down 50 pages to the Louisiana customers in order to print out a screenshot and fax it to the Louisiana office?

Also sorting a table is rarely more complex than filtering the data by some property, and although I avoid UI libraries, I can't think how one could get in the way.
