I would like to be able to list the persons in the last name order like: Vries, de Dennis Bartus Vaart, van der Johannes Not only is this common practice out here, but especially since very often these 'middle' parts change from generation to generation (at least in the past) However, when narrating, I would clearly like to use Dennis de Vries and Johannes van der Vaart. I have so far put all the last names in like First: Dennis Middle: Bartus Last: Vries, de Any suggestion? I don't mind changing the applicable last names, if I get a better situation by that... Thanks in advance, rgds, Ronald
