I want consistency across all authors in the way they appear. That is, "John Q. Smith". That is how they appear in calibre and on the Kobo. The problem is that the device will only sort on the last word of the name.
Somewhere someone suggested using a non-breaking space between "van" and "Smith", but that did not work.
The only way is to run the names together as in "John vanSmith". Which is incorrect and doesn't look so great. The "Jr." problem can be sort of fixed by adding a comma instead of a space, as in "John Smith,Jr.", which again is incorrect.
I have only a few of these authors, so I suppose I can just ignore the problem.
