That's indeed our historical practice. See previous thread where we've discussed this at length, https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/20150613231826.GY133018%40postgresql.org#88d245a5cdd2b32e1e3e80fc07eab6f2 The Economist piece Peter G cited is also relevant. The commit Peter E cited seems more anecdotical than precedence-setting, since there was no actual discussion, and whatever little there was was confined to pgsql-committers. An easy way to avoid any confusion is to uppercase the family name in the cases where it goes first. -- Álvaro Herrera https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
