what the heck

What was the reason behind the naming order change?
Unlike SAO's wikia page, which at least had a poll to determine whether characters with Japanese names would have their names spelled in Eastern naming order (LASTNAME Firstname) or Western naming order (Firstname Lastname), it seems this change happened out of the blue. Also it seems odd that characters whose names are referred to in Eastern naming order in-universe (such as Naoto Kurogane) keep the western naming order here (Naoto Kurogane instead of KUROGANE Naoto). The only character whose name is spelled in Eastern naming order in English is Yuuki Terumi because Yuuki Terumi is said in Eastern Order (thus YUUKI Terumi). Additionally Hazama is actually a family name (thus HAZAMA and HAZAMA Honoka as Honoka is a given name).
