using a stringbuilder may not be a bad idea

       static void Main(string[] args)
        {

			string s = "LastName, FirstName, MiddleName";

			string[] split = s.Split(new Char[] { ',' });

			string newSortExpression;

			string sortOrder = "DESC";

			StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

			foreach (string st in split)
			{
				sb.Append(st);
				sb.Append(' ');
				sb.Append(sortOrder);
				sb.Append(',');
			}


			// get rid of last ","
			sb.Length--;

			newSortExpression = sb.ToString();
			Console.WriteLine("{0}", newSortExpression);

			Console.ReadLine();
          
        }
