One alternative to SQL and/or manual conversion would be to save-to-disk all books in the ln, fn format, then reimport them, with the "swap author firstname and lastname" option turned off and the "get metadata only from filename" option turned on. This should reverse the name. The cost would be the loss of other metadata.
