Confusion regarding naming

I have a query regarding my legal documents that is my official id cards have my name as surname+name whereas my educational certificates have name+surname.Can you please tell me whether it is ok to have it like this or if it is better to change my name in either of the documents?

Quick Summary

This discussion addresses concerns about inconsistent name order (surname+name vs. name+surname) appearing on official ID cards and educational certificates. The consensus is that such discrepancies are common and generally acceptable, especially in certain regions. If any issues arise in the future, they can typically be resolved with an affidavit.
