You can try this: [url] Change from Title - Author.ext to Author - Title.ext ]

What I have is only Firstname Lastname no " - title ", changed to Lastname, Firstname. I do not need titles as there are only names . So this wont work for me - (.),(.) - (.).(.) Can you please give me the correct input for the old name and new name box please
