Answer

True<br /><br />In most citation styles, such as Chicago or Turabian, the author's full name is written in normal order (e.g., Barbara Smith) in the footnote. In the bibliographic entry, the name is typically inverted (e.g., Smith, Barbara) to alphabetize the entries by the author's last name.
