Try this...
=MID(TRIM(A1),FIND(" ",TRIM(A1))+1,255) & " " & LEFT(TRIM(A1),FIND(" ",TRIM(A1))-1) Change the cell reference A1 to your desired cell.

Just format the cell as Text and try to enter the value
Select the range and do Right Click and select Format CellsNumberCategoryText and give ok. Otherwise before entering the value in a cell type ' and enter your Zero value numbers.

Just to add to Ms-Exl_Learner's response.
There was an unfortunate line break in the formula: =MID(TRIM(A1),FIND(" ",TRIM(A1))+1,255) & " " & LEFT(TRIM(A1),FIND(" ",TRIM(A1))-1) If you put this formula in B1, then it will reverse the 2 piece name in A1. Then you can drag this formula down column B as far as your data goes in column A. But then you'll still have to select columns A and B and sort that data using column B as the primary key.
