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


Personal name - Wikipedia

"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 
followed by most Western libraries, as well as on many administrative forms."
