Authors with Last Name prefix or suffix sent to Kobo
Author sorting in calibre is working well. But I have issues with books sent to Kobo devices when the author name contains a prefix or suffix.

How can I get an author name e.g. John Smith Jr. to sort on the Kobo by "Smith" and NOT by "Jr."?

Same problem with a prefix. Jane von Doe should sort under "von", but sorts under "Doe" on the Kobo.

Is there a way to make the Kobo device do this properly?
