Personal name order in Legacy: surname+first name

by Nagy-Vajda Domokos

Apr 9, 2014

I tried looking for ideas in several places, forums, with no luck so far, I hope someone here can help me out.

I have been using Legacy for quite a long time, it's perfect for me but I haven't found a solution to one my most annoying problems yet. 
I want the names to be formatted in reports the following way: Surname Firstnames" (ex. Johnson John) . 
This is quite important for me, because in some languages, such as Hungarian, names are correctly written as I mentioned above (Surname preceding First name, no comma). After generating a report in English I can easily translate it into Hungarian using MSWord's Search&Replace option, but I haven't yet found a way to change the order of the names in the generated reports.
Do you know if Legacy has a hidden trick where I can set it to display the names as I want it or should I look for other solutions? For charts I will purchase TreeDraw, which is fully customizable, but I really need help with the report.
Thanks in advance for any ideas

    Hi - I also have been having the same frustration with Legacy not showing names in the order I want - which is - same as you - Surname first, then Givens. I note your message which I am responding to was send April 9, 2014. Does this mean you have still not gotten a solution - - - or does it mean nobody is reading this area of the posts?

    If you got a solution or response . . . will you be kind enough to post it here as a reply to my reply?

    Many thanks.

    Joan
