According to the following article, first name -> given name order is usually used even for Western personal names?  I
don'tmind either way.  What I hope is to not burdon people who author the release note page.
 


Personal name - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_name

"Western name order"

"Within alphabetic lists and catalogs, however, the family name is generally put first, with the given name(s)
following,separated from it by a comma (e.g. Smith, John), representing the "lexical name order". This convention is
followedby most Western libraries, as well as on many administrative forms."
