Solution 1

Just record macro!

Let's say, your data are in column A.
1) Start recording
2) Select column A
3) Menu Data->Text As Columns
4) Menu Data->Sort (by column A, B, C)
5) For cell D1 add formula =A1 & "-" & B1 & "-" & C1
6) Fill down the formula
7) Stop recording
8) ALT+F11 to open "VBA Code Editor" window

That's all!
