Default sorting out data based on 3 alpha characters followed by a comma

The report I download has a column heading "Name" and is in column D. The
name is last name then a comma then a space then the first name, for example
SMITH, FRED.

I would like to write a macro that would generate a report to pull only the
last names with 3 characters or less. That new report would be on a sheet
titled, "Short Names". Any ideas on how to accomplish this? Thanks
