Thanks for the clarification. The prefix and suffix in the section I referenced aren't the same as the prefix and suffix for a person's name.

The reversal algorithm looks for the first comma and treats everything before the comma as last names and everything after the comma as first names. A suffix such as Jr will be treated as an additional last name and a prefix such as Dr will be treated as an additional first name. I think this will work OK in most cases.

These are flat lists, not index menu choices. For a flat list, the size of the list is known when the list menu choice is displayed.
