Anna,

As long as both names are spelt correctly, order does not matter. No efforts to correct this are needed. When submitting transcripts, or corresponding with University, please make sure the order is correct in I-20 and the Sevis record.

All the best

If you are concerned, you can create something called a name reference sheet and get it notarized so that all the names correspond to you and carry with you. Read this article : Name Reference Sheets for US Schools
