Flip date and author

How do I change the location of the date and author in a single post?
Ideally, I would like the author name (By xxx) to be the first thing displayed, followed by the date, separated by a "|"
Example, it would read:
By: John Doe | February 31, 2032
Hi Matthew,
Try adding this Snippet:
add_filter( 'generate_header_entry_meta_items', function( $items ) {
if ( is_single() ) {
return array( 'author', 'date' );
}
return $items;
} );
add_filter( 'generate_post_author_output', 'tu_modify_by_byline' );
function tu_modify_by_byline() {
printf( ' <span class="byline">By: %1$s</span>', // WPCS: XSS ok, sanitization ok.
sprintf( '<span class="author vcard" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author"><a class="url fn n" href="%1$s" title="%2$s" rel="author" itemprop="url"><span class="author-name" itemprop="name">%3$s</span></a></span>',
esc_url( get_author_posts_url( get_the_author_meta( 'ID' ) ) ),
/* translators: 1: Author name */
esc_attr( sprintf( __( 'View all posts by %s', 'generatepress' ), get_the_author() ) ),
esc_html( get_the_author() )
)
);

Then, add this through Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS:
.single-post .entry-meta .byline:after {
content: " | ";
}
