1. Select the column.
2. Go to Data > Text to columns
3. Select "Delimited" and select a comma as your
delimiter.
4. Switch the columns around.

And then concatenate, as the OP wants both in the same column!

Put this in the target column where imported names start in ColA, Row2
=RIGHT($A2,LEN($A2)-FIND(" ",$A2))&" "&LEFT($A2,FIND(",",$A2)-1)
Adjust $A2 to your source
