Oh, wow. That's not at all obvious ... the fact that there's Scherbaum as the first entry, and Wang at the fifth position, threw me off.
Oh, there isn't, there's "ads Scherbaum" as his last name. I'm pretty sure he does that just to mess with people. And for the second one, it's Alexandra... But yes, I agree it's confusing, especially when you start mixing in cultures that may not have firstname/lastname working in the way that we do in the western world.
I can find entries easily enough knowing this. But I think it would make more sense to order by the complete string that makes up the name.
Ok, I've pushed a change to do first_name sorting instead. Let's see if that causes less or more confusion :) But it will at least match the "full string sorting".
