[PATCH v1 1/1] CREDITS: Fix the ordering and other issues.

I assume that the ordering should be done in default (C) locale
as other gives more lines shuffled. Fix the ordering accordingly.
With that being said, clearly make at the top header how it should
be sorted.
Note, I took some empirical assumptions that people usually put
their names in accordance with the First name(s) Last Name(s) split
based on the records around (before and after the move). I hope
I made no or little mistakes. In any case it's just a dozen of
names to update.
I dunno how often and how many people do really script this, but
at least one section is made in a wrong format, fix that as well.
