I wonder if it could be possible to introduce the option to just invert the author names without the adding of the comma (e.g. Doe John -> John Doe). Thanks!

Fix has 2 Name items
On fixes the initials: There are 4 choices
The other flips whatever the is between Comma and not. AFAIK Ln Fn is not a normal format (at least for English publishers )
Bulk S&R of the MDE might help. something like: NOT TESTED
YOU NEED TO EXCLUDE those that are correct since there is no way to tell just by the letters found.
Bill Brown is good Jane Mary is ??? Boop Betty needs fixing
I don't even know how to automate the detection )
Code:
({\w{2,})\s({\w{2,})
\2 \1
does not find when MI or Mn is included or when 2+ author names present
Finds a word
with 2 or more letters separated by a space
Flips them to Fn Ln
