Incorrect author name parsing and handling with suffix

Zotero fails to correctly parse and handle author names with suffixes, such as
"John R. Wagner Jr."
"Eldridge M. Mount III"

    You should enter these names as:

    Last: Wagner
    First: John R., Jr.

    Last: Mount
    First: Eldridge M., III
  • Calorion
    Fine, except that when you enter "Eldridge M. Mount III” as a full name (which is often more convenient) and then click the button to change it to ‘last, first’, you end up with “III, Eldridge M. Mount.” Which is obviously not desirable behavior. Zotero should be able to recognize and correctly handle common suffixes.
