Default handling of two part last names in author sort?

Is there a way to configure the default behaviour of author sort (maybe in the "Author sort name algorithm") to handle common two part last names? That is, a last name that uses a prefix such as la, le, van, di, etc. followed by a space and the rest of the last name.

Thanks.

Once a Name exists. Use Manage Authors (a right click in the Authors section of the Tag Browser) to set the Sort value. All books with that author, will then follow that
