Q: How to change order of people
Under El Capitan I recently spent quite a bit of time manually reorganizing around 260 faces from a seemingly random order into surname order. Now under Sierra Apple has decided to display them in forename order with no chance of manual reordering which is unhelpful and really irritating. Any suggestions on how I can change the order?

You can manually rearrange the order in the Favorite part of the People album, but not the persons in the other section.
You have to break the link to the contacts card for the peoples album, if you want to Photos from using only the first name of the person. I prefixed all person names by a sort tag, for example "Italy: Julius Caesar" and now the persons are arranged and grouped in exactly the order I want them to be arranged.
