Short Description
Support for Asian Naming Systems
Long Description
Chinese and most East Asian culturals present family name (surname) after given name (first name). And in many cultures the presence of middle name is important.
Currently OurCampaigns presents all names in the FirstName LastName format.
Proper support for Chinese and East Asian naming systems would present names in the following format:
LastName(Family Name) FirstName(Given Name) MiddleName
Perhaps this could be accomplished with a default to Asian naming system for China and East Asian counties. Would not be an issue for Asians in North America and Europe as they have tended to use the Western naming format.
This could solve problems for data enterers placing full name in the LastName field on OurCampaigns.
