Is it possible to display post title in reverse word order?|Programmer puzzle solving

I created alphabetical list of members(custom post) using first letter of title. Therefore title was in format 'Surname - Name'. Now on single member page I need somehow to reverse order to 'Name - Surname'. Is it possible?

<?php the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' ); ?>

<?php the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' ); ?>

Do you need the - also in between? And will there be just 2 words? If there are 3 or more words, how would you like to display? – Akshat Commented Nov 22, 2018 at 22:03

There will be a lot of ways to solve this. One of them is to modify template of single CPT post and replace:

<?php the_title( '<h1 class="entry-title">', '</h1>' ); ?>

with:

<h1 class="entry-title"><?php
    $separator = ' - ';
    echo implode( $separator, array_reverse( explode( $separator, get_the_title() ) ) );
?></h1>

What it will do is:

Take the title.
Explode it into pieces using ' - ' as separator.
Reverse the pieces.
Glue them together using ' - ' as separator again.
Echo the result.
