      Yes, that's right. "Given name" used to be called "Christian Name."

Hi,
I'm working on a wiki that include book titles and book 
authors, all in the same name space.
I want to be able to display a list of authors by second 
name. All authors are in a the category "Author" and I use 
the [[Category:NAME|SORT]] to sort by second name.
The category list I get this way does sort as specified, but 
each author is still displayed with the first name first - 
which makes list hard to overview.
Appears that I do have an option to change the page titles 
for author pages to "[2nd name],_[1st name]" - but I'd prefer 
not to do this.
Any hints?
Regards
Bjorn
