   Sorting is one of the weird things.

   Some languanges sort by surname (like my native Portuguese), some by last name.

   We don't remeber our collegues full name in school because of that, haha. Teachers only use first names in daily class calls.

     @hongminhee gaaah, I always, always refer to them as given name and family name, it's far more accurate and applicable to more naming systems (not all, haha).

     Even in a fully Western context there are forms that want the family name entered first for reasons of their own, which must trip up plenty of people who aren't used to checking.
