Default Sorting full name into 2 columns by first name and last name

Assuming the full name in column A is like:

James Ravenswood

1. first name first
2. no middle initial
3. single space between first name and last name

Select colum A and:

Data Text to Columns... Delimited Next check space Finish

You will be left with james in A1 and Ravenswood in B1, etc.
