"firstname, surname" is the form we usually use to display a patron name.
I am not sure about this change, ccing Owen and Katrin to get some feedbacks.
Comment 4 Katrin Fischer 2016-01-29 12:14:50 UTC
Hm, not sure if I am confused, but

firstname surname
or 
surname, firstname

For sorting and in general I prefer definitely the latter :)

Ideally the code should check for the existance of firstname, as we also have organisations where this field will remain empty (not displayed in the patron form even). 

So I'd say something like:

surname[if firstname], firstname[end]

Katrin, I missed that while signing off because it is about instructors / teachers who normally schould have first names :-) 
...but you are right, it makes sense to display the firstname only if there is a first name.

Maybe a faculty or work group account? (quote 123 :) )

Or even kind of room reservation...
Comment 8 Katrin Fischer 2016-01-29 13:43:20 UTC
Libraries... who knows :) Not a blocker.

Bug 15699 - Course reserves instructors should be in form "Surname, Firstname" for sorting purposes

This patch changes the order of the name fields and adds a span class around
each in case of library wanting to customize further

To test:
1 - Enable course reserves
2 - Add some courses with instrcutors
3 - Note they are of form "Firstname Surname"
4 - Apply patch
5 - Note the change
6 - Note span tags
7 - Note you can hide firstname by adding to intranet user js: $(".instr_firstname, instr_separator").hide();

Sing-off note: This patch displays the names as advertised on cgi-bin/koha/opac-course-reserves.pl Sorting
the names would need some more actions but seems not to be intended by this patch.
