Default string manipulation

Hello, I have a list of names in the form of "Firstname optionalNames
LastName", and I would like to convert them to the form of "*Lastname,
Firstname optionalNames"

e.g.
"John Doe" is converted to "*Doe, John"

I have wrriten some vba codes (about 20 lines) which can do this. However, a
friend told me that this can be done using a sequence of built-in functions.
My programming background is mosty C/C++, where I usually have to write
everything from scratch. As I am not too familiar with the vast built-in
functions available, I am wondering if how this is done.

Sincerely,
Steven Deng
