As admin – with firstname "Admin" and lastname "User", set fullnamedisplay (in admin/settings.php?section=userpolicies) to 'firstname lastname' (or in the example below 'language' which corresponds to the same in english)
and alternativefullnameformat to 'lastname firstname'

Save and verify in the usermenu it says "Admin User" and not "User Admin"

Go to Users > Accounts > Browse list of users in site administration and log in as another user.

Verify the usermenu says
"Admin User
You are logged in as <firstname> <lastname>".

Description

If you set for example

fullnamedisplay : firstname lastname (or in the example below 'language' which corresponds to the same in english)
alternativefullnameformat : lastname firstname

(in admin/settings.php?section=userpolicies)

then there's an inconsistency in the UI which is hard to explain to users.

Why should the user menu name not be fullnamedisplay as well ('Admin' being set as firstname and 'User' being set as lastname in the screenshot below)?

(fullname() is called with parameter true in https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/master/user/lib.php#L856)
