That won't really help, because the desired order is, with the example 
the OP used: Sirna Daniel Craig. So here indexing is necessary, but 
indexing of the list elements, not of the characters in the string.

(Necessary is too strong, because this could be done with rpartition. 
But I doubt that's the right answer for a beginner course.)
