Combine multiple columns of indefinite length into one and sort

I will be importing the data into columns A, B, and C.   The number of rows in each column can differ from import to import.

I want to combine all the names in the columns A, B and C into one list in Column G and support.

Is there a way to do that in one formula?  (I know, it doesn't take long to copy, paste three times and do a manual sort).

thanks.
