Alright here is what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to use the sed command to sort a field so it comes out like lastname firstname
so say if I have something like this
Bugs Bunny:603-479-5498:12/9/09/:20300
and I want it to come out like this
Bunny Bugs:603-479-5498:12/9/09/:20300
how would I do that using sed? Now I know that I could do it perhaps using awk, but please tell me how to do it with sed
