Default Find and Replace

I finally remembered my mistake so no help needed! Thanks, anyway!

I have a list of people whose names were given to me in regular order and
I've been successful in using (*) ([! ]@)^13 to arrange the names so that
they appear as in the following example:

Smith, Marvin A.

I have then put them in alphabetical order according to the last name, but
nothing I try seems to put them, once alphabetized, back in to regular first
name order.

I've done this successfully before and perhaps it's the "rush" aspect of it
that's causing me to get messed up, but could somebody tell me how to do the
replace that will change:
Smith, Marvin A. to Marvin A. Smith.
I can't believe I have such a mental block!
Thanks for your wonderful help--past, present and future!
