And then there are the ones like  Dr. John van Smith, Jr. , Ph.D.

I've seen several different orderings of last-name-first for names
like this.  I don't know if grammarians or librarians even agree on
it, let alone programmers :-)

And the authors list in OL has some fun variations, from trying to
straighten them back out.  My favorite is when it has a role tacked on
like "editor in chief" to top it off...
