Name Order
Can you please sort out the theophoric names order in 2022 Asia Cup page? Thanks Kirubar (talk) 15:07, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Am away, can take a look in a couple of days. Joseph2302 (talk) 22:05, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
 * what needs changing on that page? All the table names are unsortable, so doesn't look like anyone's names needs the sorting fixing. Joseph2302 (talk) 15:51, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Look umpires names. Masudur Rahman and Ruchira Palliyaguruge, If it is you, who is adding this, which name you will put first and why? Can you tell this? Kirubar (talk) 15:55, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Also if Masudur Rahman unpire gets a game to umpiring, whoever the co-umpire our editors adding his name first, even it is with Bruce Oxenford. I think we're adding that by sorting the last name. Oxenford then Rahman. But what's the reason that they added like this? Kirubar (talk) 16:00, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
 * The order matches the sources, also not sure why it matters at all? Seems like an argument over nothing to me. Joseph<b style="color:#000000">2302</b> (talk) 14:57, 7 September 2022 (UTC)
