I had the opposite situation a few years back. I had my office manager in Beijing purchase a RTW ticket for me so that it would be ticketed and ready when I arrived in the office the following week. When I got there, the Chinese Travel Agent that handled it had my name in Chinese order rather than Western order, e.g. I was Smith Gary rather than Gary Smith. I was concerned about this order with regard to the international travel, passports, visas, etc. but interestingly enough I had no problems at all at any airport, airlines, immigration, etc. The only one who questioned it was LAX immigration who said "they got your name backward Mr. Gary".
