Description

Hello,

A UNC researcher notes that most dataset metadata fields identify contributors in the format lname, fname. The "contributor" column of the versions tab, however, uses fname lname. Is this intentional, and/or should they match?

RDMC should be able to submit a pull request depending on consensus.
