In Japan, people use family-given order, but they usually spell
their name in given-family order with alphabets. However, some prefer
to spell their family name with capital letters. My name, for example,
is sometimes written as "Hiroki SATO" or "SATO Hiroki," ("SATO" is
my family name). When the name is written as "Hiroki Sato,"
typically it is in given-family order.
Anyway, I prefer to keep their names as they wrote. So the entries
in the PR should be re-ordered by their first name which is spelled
with small letters except for the initial letter.
