Jr ?

The author Richard Henry Dana Jr. is alphebetizing by Jr. instead of Dana. The instructions on the book info page say not to insert punctation between the last name and suffix, but obviously there is a problem here. Could a more experienced librarian check it out please?

Unfortunately, this is currently a problem for all authors with suffixes. Adding a comma makes things worse.

We hope there will soon be an author sort-by field, just like the relatively-recently-added title sort-by field.

Thanks for the info.

This is now possible, and I edited the name, but it will take some time to appear fixed
