The code below can be used in view columns or wherever else you may need to reorder the CommonName portion of a UserName. For example, you may want to put the name LastName , FirstName MiddleInitial(if it exists). Or you could change it around any way necessary.
rs := @ReplaceSubstring(@Name
([CN]; NotesName); " "; ";");
exp := @Explode(rs; ";"; 0);
ele := @Elements(exp);
@If(ele=3; @Subset(exp; -1) + " , "
+ @Subset(exp; 1) + " " +
@Subset(@Subset(exp; 2); -1);
@Subset(exp; -1) + " , " + @Subset(exp; 1))
MEMBER FEEDBACK TO THIS TIP
Michael Kinder's four-step solution to reversing first and last names can be simplified. However, neither his method nor the above below handles suffixes, such a Jr. or III. Here's how to do it:
fullname := @Name ([CN]; @UserName);
lastname := @RightBack (fullname; " ");
firstname := @Left (fullname; lastname);
@Trim (lastname + "; " + firstname)
