Change to Adding Names
I just noticed a change in adding names. First was in Other Information, Add Alternate Name. Second was in Add Child. In both cases the Last Names is now before the First Names blocks to fill in. This also puts the names in this order on the list of family names.
Could I have clicked on some screen or program setting change? I did not see any posted changes in the New in Tree list.

As someone who uses the Hungarian language setting a lot, I was momentarily puzzled: well, yes, isn't that how it's supposed to b.… Oh. Right. Not if you're expecting English. :-]
As Alan said, check the language template. As far as I know, you needn't actually have changed this yourself previously; it's enough to have edited (and saved) a name with the different template already applied by someone else.

The order of the first and last names is controlled by the language template. So if you choose a language such as Chinese, or Korean, or Tongan, or Hungarian (or a few others), the last name will be first.
So check that language drop-down, and if it is set to a language you weren't expecting, change it to English (or whatever the appropriate language is for names you are entering).
The reason you are seeing this same behavior in multiple places is that the system remembers the last name language template you used, and defaults to that same one for the next name you add.

Thank You both.
Some how it had gotten changed to Roman. If I had looked on the choices before, I had glossed over English. I did look in other posts in community, not finding this subject, I posted my problem. I am glad that others like you were of help.
