The style is for a number of journals, including e.g. Acta Astronautica, that indeed have first name initials first: https://www.elsevier.com/journals/acta-astronautica/0094-5765/guide-for-authors#68000

Why do you think this is wrong? Are you looking at a particular journal?

The journal I am interested in is Soil Dynamics and Earthquake Engineering, in which last names come first. I didnt know other journals in Elsevier use first name initials.

Is there a way I can adjust the setting to last name initials first for my case?

Thank you
