Say for example:
Albert Smith Jones
Smith and Jones are both last names
Does Albert go under S or under J?

Last name is last name. People can try to mess with it all they want but that does not change it. -- nm

The first one is a middle name, not a last name. Alphabetize by last name. -- nm

Smith could very well be a middle (family) name. I'd go with Jones. -- nm

Smith if their last name is actually Smith Jones. If I don't know that for sure and it could be a middle name, I file it under J. -- nm
