halacha - May one wear a tallit gadol with all four corners in front?



Qitzur Shulhhan Arukh - Yalqut Yosef (Orahh Hayim 8:26) states that one should wear one's tallit such that two corners are in front and two in back.


Nevertheless, I have encountered no small number of Teimani Jews (and Reform men/women or simply Jews of other persuasions) wearing a tallit with all four corners in front (e.g. Pic 1, Pic 2, Pic 3).


Does any Orthodox poseq consider this type of wearing (with all four corners/tzitziyot in front) eligible for fulfilling one's requirement (of placing tzitziyot on the four-cornered garment one wears)?
