Comment (by Takahashi_Fumiki):

 I'm really interested in this ticket!

 As mentioned above, name fields in `profile.php` should be able to swap.
 But there are still things to be considered.

 1. Name parts are not always 2 in some locale(e.g. Phlip.K.Dick, Pyotr
 Ilyich Tchaikovsky).
 2. API for name parts is also preferred for plugin API like
 `document_title_parts` hook.
 3. Name formats vary very much. So, if you are not a linguist, it's hard
 to make whitelist.
 4. The `gettext` approach is a good start point(e.g. `$name_order = _x(
 'fist_name,last_name', 'name_parts' )`, but translators are not always
 good developer. In terms of separation of concerns, the changeable
 settings should be free from `.po` files. JSON file `wp-setting.json` is a
 good recommendation, but it may give a broad effect.

 This W3C document will make sense.

 Anyway, I will make a patch for UI matters in `profile.php`.
