    Your English writing is not too bad (based on the writing of this question). I would suggest you to write the paper yourself.

    What do you mean by "He can be the joint first author but my name should be written first" Is his name first or yours?

    You do know that in DBLP, Google Scholar etc, no-one will actually read the asterisks.

    In some areas of CS, alphabetical order is the standard... is your advisor asking to be the "primary" author, or just asking to follow the standards of your field?

    he is more senior than you, right? So, in my opinion, his name should be written first — The only sensible standard for joint first authorship is to list the first authors alphabetically. Otherwise, there are (as here) fights over who gets to be the first first author, which is just stupid.
