Multi-word last names are not handled properly #44

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
Multi-word last names are not handled properly.  Using the add person form
to enter Sofie M. Van Parijs, will return the following pen names:

van, Parijs S. M.
van, Parijs Sofie M.
van, Parijs S.
van, Parijs Sofie

Articles added that contain this name as an author are also mishandled.

Example:  http://bibapp.mbl.edu/works/1567

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Trunk

Please provide any additional information below.

Other test cases:
James Smith Jr.
Jennifer Jones, PhD.

Note that we should have
Bessel A. van der Koch => van der Koch, B. A.
but probably
Karel z Zerotína => Zerotína, K. z
and
Hamid al-Jundi => Jundi, Hamid al- (since alphabetized as "J" in APA style) per

Ditto -- Multiple-word last names are now handled gracefully.
