For example, our COO has contacts such as John A. Smith. However, because of
the option he had when he created it, the contact was saved A Smith, John.. I
can change it so it is listed as John A Smith, but cannot change it so it is
listed as Smith, John A. The A is always before the last name no matter what
I choose. Apparently he has too many like this and doesn't want to change
them all by hand.

Ok, thank you.

I guess he typed in the names in another order as the settings
expected it.

You can check this if you click on the button "Name...". If I´m right
the "A." will not be in the field "Middle Name" but in the Field
"Suffix".

However I´m right or not, this issue cannot be fixed only with
"ChangeNames". Please use "EditContacts" to exchange the fields
"Middle Name" and "Suffix". After that you should be able to get the
desired order with "ChangeNames".
