Default Macro for Special Sorting

I have file names listed in column A and B like (see below)

A B……col
Jim Boot - data.xls John Wood (Record List).xlsx
Ali Khan (data).xlsm Dean Wild - system.xls
Bob Will.xlsx Jim Boot (actuals).xlsm
John Wood.xls Kam Finch.xlsx
Ali Khan (Recorded data).xls

The special thing about file names listed in column A and B is that
the first two words in those are always the first name and last name
of the person. I am looking for a macro which should sort both these
columns lists alphabatically and also the way that same name should
come in same row. so i am looking for the result something like (see
below)

A B……col
Ali Khan (data).xlsm Ali Khan (Recorded data).xls
Bob Will.xlsx
Dean Wild - system.xls
Jim Boot - data.xls Jim Boot (actuals).xlsm
John Wood.xls John Wood (Record List).xlsx
Kam Finch.xlsx

I'll be very thankful if any friend got sultion for this kind of
sorting.
