reversing first name and last name

[bungaman]

how would one reverse first name and last name in xmp face tags?  any suggestions.

Maybe something like this:

exiftool -api filter="s/(\S+) (\S+)/$2 $1/" -tagsfromfile @ -TAG1 -TAG2 FILE

where TAG1 and TAG2 (etc) are the tags you want changed.  This will swap the first 2 words of the tag value.
