How to move a group of words before another group of words

Hi

I have a file containing lines with several consecutive words starting with a capital letter (i.e. Zuvaia Flex), followed by "de The New Foul", and I would like to put "The New Foul" before the group with capital letters and delete "de"
From the line:
Code:
    Le short femme Zuvaia Flex de The New Foul se distingue par


I need to obtain:
Code:
    Le short femme The New Foul Zuvaia Flex se distingue par


Another example of a line to search and replace:
le molleton Bise Chop Durel - XS de
The New Foul. Composé de roustane avec barrettes de renflex

For now I have come up with a sed oneliner:
Code:
 sed 's/\( [a-z]* \)\(([A-Z][a-z]* )*\)[^A-Z ]*de \(The North Face\)/\1\3 \2/g' target.txt > done.txt 



but it does not work.
Can you help me?

Thank you

NAME
size - print the size of the sections in an object file SYNOPSIS
size [ option ... ] [ object ... ] DESCRIPTION
Size (without the -m option) prints the (decimal) number of bytes required by the __TEXT, __DATA and __OBJC segments. All other segments are totaled and that size is listed in the `others' column. The final two columns is the sum in decimal and hexadecimal. If no file is specified, a.out is used. The options to size(1) are: - Treat the remaining arguments as name of object files not options to size(1). -m Print the sizes of the Mach-O segments and sections as well as the total sizes of the sections in each segment and the total size of the segments in the file. -l When used with the -m option, also print the addresses and offsets of the sections and segments. -x When used with the -m option, print the values in hexadecimal (with leading 0x's) rather than decimal. -arch arch_type Specifies the architecture, arch_type, of the file for size(1) to operate on when the file is a fat file. (See arch(3) for the cur- rently know arch_types.) The arch_type can be "all" to operate on all architectures in the file. The default is to display only the host architecture, if the file contains it; otherwise, all architectures in the file are shown. SEE ALSO
