Challenge #348: Reorder a List of Names

A solution to last week’s challenge can be found here.image_348_2.png

 

To solve this week’s challenge, use Designer Cloud or Designer Desktop.

 

Do you have to reformat lists because the last name and first name are listed in a different order?

 

In this weekly challenge, you need to rearrange an improperly formatted list of subscribers. Some of the subscribers’ names are listed with the last name(s) followed by a comma, and then the first name(s).


Your goal is to reorder the list with the first name(s) followed by the last name(s), and put the list in alphabetical order. For example, the subscriber “BORROEL GOMEZ, JUANA” should be listed as “JUANA BORROEL GOMEZ” with no punctuation.

 

Note that some subscribers can have more than one first name or last name.
