How to adjust the order of author names in Latex references (Journal of Finance style)

Question

I try to replicate the Journal of Finance reference style. In order to do that, the names in the references should be ordered and written with full names as:

• For two authors: LastName1, FirstName1 and FirstName2 LastName2
• For three or more authors: LastName1, FirstName1, FirstName2 LastName2, and FirstName3 LastName3

This is the example reference:

@article{examplesource,
  title={Title of article},
  author={LastName1, FirstName1 and LastName2, FirstName2 and LastName3, FirstName3},
  journal={Journal of Finance},
  volume={40},
  number={1},
  pages={3--73},
  year={2005}}

This is what I have defined so far (based on: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/379901/biblatex-how-to-match-the-journal-of-finance-bibliographic-style)

Answer 1

• you get the full given names with giveninits=false
• the sorting you are looking is actually the default behaviour, so you just need to NOT overwrite it with \DeclareNameAlias{sortname}{family-given}
