Auto fill inputs full name in Safari as “Last First” instead of “First Last”. How do I fix this?

I just discovered that if you go to contacts and change Display to first name then last name, your name will appear correctly. All your contacts, though sorted by last name will appear first name then last.
You can also try testing the issue in and out of safe mode. Creating a new user account can also help tell you if the issue is system wide with macOS. If this seems to be isolated to your user account, we would recommend reaching out to Apple Support directly.
Start up your Mac in safe mode

Hello Gavilon,
From what we understand you'd like to update your AutoFill information using Safari.
This can be done by navigating to Safari > Preferences > AutoFill > User names and passwords > Edit.
Take a look at the resource below.

Cheers!
Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, that’s not the issue here.
My information is entered & selected correctly, but AutoFill inserts the full name reversed - “Lastname Firstname” instead of “First Last”. Is there a way to change the order?
Hi Dave: I was wondering if you had a moment to look into this issue again. Please see my further clarification below.
Thanks again for your help.

This happens on my iPhone and iPads. Sorry for the confusion. Am I the only one experiencing this issue on iOS?
