I have many files where the format of the title is X - Y - Z, where X, Y, and Z are alphanumeric strings. I want to change the title to X - Z - Y.

Is this possible?

Try this:

New actiongroup

New action: replace with regular expression

Field:  
TITLE

Regular expression:  
(._) - (._) - (.\*)

Replace matches with:  
$1 - $3 - $2
