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