Would just love it if I could make the game display all player names as Last, First instead if First Last...

Any particular screen or reason? Must have been somewhere that made you inquire...

Looking at players in the list form that I generally do (transactions, lineups, stats) it's just annoying to have it First Last when it sorts by Last.

You know I agree with you. I can see why you would want Last name first then First name.

Can we have two separate columns for their First and last name?

Been wanting to do this for a long time.

Might be possible to edit the templates file, but good luck with figuring that out...I know for prospects in ootp13, I was able to set the order to show stats first and not ratings by rearranging the order in the templates file as I never go by ratings only stats and I wanted to see them first.
Don't know if you could do that for names or not, but I'd look for something like %[FIRST_NAME] %[LAST_NAME] or something like that in the correct templates file and just reverse it.
Just backup everything your gonna try to edit.
