BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ Author Name when last Name has Suffix

[latexhelp1]

How can one indicate that a last name has a suffix? For example, if the name John Smith is followed by a Jr. or a numeral like III, how do I indicate this in the beamer entry for name such that it thinks that Smith is the last name and not Jr. or III when it alphabetizes. In effect, I want to say that the last name is Smith III but I worry that the space between Smith and III would make beamer think that III is the last name and that Smith is the middle name.

I would appreciate any help you can provide!

I'm not sure if I understand you right. But I assume that additional grouping should help here.

Code: Select all

@book{smith:2012,
  author={John {Smith Jr.}},
  title={Book Title},
  publisher={Publisher},
  year={2012}
}
