Cite the author’s names in the same order as they appear on the title page or journal citation even if it is not in alphabetical order. Reverse the name of only the first author. If there are more than three authors, you may provide only the first name and add et al. (“and others”), or you may give all the names in full in the order in which they appear on the title page. (See p. 154, MLA Handbook, 2009)
