and I want the last name to come first, seperated by comma like this

 Williams, Aaron S.

Is it possible using xslt?

It's certainly possible if you can specify precisely what the rules are: for example, what you want to happen to names like Herbert von Karajan or Ralph Vaughan Williams. If all your names are in the simplified American format of John X. Doe then it's fairly easy, but with real names occurring in the real world it's much harder (regardless of what programming language you choose).
