I'm sure we can cook up something. Personally I'd like to get away from this 'von' and 'junior' thing and use better names, like

initials (by default taken from firstnames) firstnames prefixes (unless specificed, taken from surnames) surnames postfixes (unless specified, taken from surnames)

we can think of a sort keys as well, so maybe:

author = {[sortkey] firstnames, prefixes, surnames, postfixes}

or

author = {sortkey:: firstnames, prefixes, surnames, postfixes}

(we can have an exporter that exports to a regular dumb bib file for other usage)

I would think something more dynamic would be better! Something like a possible filter field for parsing the author information, so that writers can the set-up the sort field and von fields! If it is not designated for an entry the default filter is used. regards Keith.
