Huh? lol...
I might not have been too articulate in my question. I got it to work with the organisation, I'm just wondering how do I get it to display as "Einstein, Albert" on the category name?

Hi there,
I was asked to setup a MediaWiki but there are some strange (though
obvious
in their case) requests that have been made which I'm not sure what the
best
solution for integration is. Here they are briefly:
- They have a list of authors and animators and would like to sort
them
in a category by last name first. All the articles currently created
begin
with first and last. I realised that there is a transclusion option
called
{{DEFAULTSORT:}} which lets you define its sort value. The problem is,
I'm
not sure how to invert and display the name on the category page with
the
inverse. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Category doesn't tell me much other than about the default sort value.
Just use {{DEFAULTSORT:Einstein, Albert}} on the page about Albert Einstein. There's no way of doing this automatically, partly because the software wouldn't know what to do with names like Hillary Rodham Clinton (is Rodham a middle name or a surname?).
