Q: How do I sort text to multiple columns?

How do I sort text to multiple columns?

 

I'm amassing data from several sources and need to alphabetize. Some bizarre sources alphabetized by first name. (Why, oh why?....)

 

I need to create a consistent format, obviously.

    Hi RockinRobin,

     

    Not enough info. We need to see numerous examples of the data you are wanting to sort. It will matter how consistent the data is. If it is all

    Smith, John

    this will be easy to parse. If there is variation in it it will require more
