Answer 1

To do this you can make use of ([\S]+) to find individual words, and simply seperate them by the colan : like so:

([\S]+):([\S]+)

And in the replace box just insert the following to reverse the order:

\2:\1

For input of:

hello:imawesome | yes:imawesome | ohyeah:awesomevibes

The result of replacing all instances is:

imawesome:hello | imawesome:yes | awesomevibes:ohyeah

Just make sure that the Regular expression option is ticked:
