The system shows the sorting formatted name ('LastName, Firstname') in the Contacts and Employee OWL. The basic idea behind this was to allow a sorting according to the persons last name.

Hence, the system will also show the same format when checking the contacts facet inside an account.

However, in the Account Team facet, the system shows BusinessPartnerFormattedName. The sequence of the name fields is defined in the business configuration and are country dependent. General Business Partner activity > NameFormat > choose the format of the account team member's country).
