How to change the format of the column Person in a contact list

Question

When I use a contact list with a column "Person" it displays the person's name and last name in a certain format.

Ex: Melone (Jack)

But I just want the first name and then the last name.

Ex: Jack Melone

Is that possible, if so how can I do that?

Greetings,

In my test list, selecting "Name" or "Name (with presence)" yields the correct results.
