Order of editor and translator in Chicago 17 full note

If I have a book with both and editor and translator, they should appear in the citation/bibliography in the order they appear on the title page. In chicago-fullnote-bibliography style, the editor-translator macro outputs the names like this:

The CSL spec says that "names" renders names in the order specified in the variable attribute. Is there any workaround available to take into account the order of the items as entered in the Zotero item?

My tags didn't render: <names variable="editor translator">

The specification means that the name types are rendered in the order that the CSL specifies, meaning that there isn’t a way to indicate the title page order.
