If you need to include the credentials in the file name would it be Smith, John, M.D.?

It would only come into play if you have more than one John Smith. I.E. sorted my last name....those with the same last name get sorted in that subsection by first name..if you have multiple people with the same first and last name, then in that subcatagory you sould sort by credentials.
