Default I need to convert name 3 part name into Last, First MiddleNameorMI

I have a column of names, most of which are FirstName LastName in format.
Some, however are First MiddleName (or MI) Last. I need to convert these
values into LastName Firstname MI. I have a formula that gets close, but
doesn't account for the possible presence of a Middle Name or initial.
For ex, data could be Jill Smith, or Jo Ann Smith. I need to make Smith,
Jill and Smith, Jo Ann.

Seems like I need to go backwards thru the string with a Search function to
find the 2nd space for this to work, but can't. Or should I try it by parsing
consecutive columns with incremental changes together???? Help!

Thank you
