The one thing this article is about and still fails to communicate is which is the app?

A fast search showed that several other online news also fail to mention this, but looks like the same article has been copy-pasted around a few times:

Posted in: Gov't to start using 'family name first' order from Jan 1 See in context

That'll confuse the rest of the institutions (banks) even further. They swap my name 50% of the time even if I put everything in the respective columns. The greatest fun is specifying my middle name, which now comes last, and repeating twice that my first name, which is now in the middle, is not my middle name.

I learned in school that in Japanese language first names follow last names, in English last names follow first, regardless of your nationality, that's how the languages work. I follow the same rules when I write in one language or the other, I fail to see what the problem is.
