If you have more than a couple then you could create an action of the type "Replace with regular expression". Enter as search string: (.*), (.*) Enter as replace string: $2 $1 this takes the comma as separator and will lead to rather strange results for all entries that have more than one comma (e.g. Earth, WInd & Fire will become Wind & Fire Earth). -------------------- 42 - wie war die Frage / what was the question / comment était la question
