You may have a mixture of names, some you want sorted on the prefix words, some you do not. If this is the case, you could configure the General Settings window as shown above and then use a non-breaking space character within names you want sorted based on the prefix word. A non-breaking space character is created by typing Option-space and has the same appearance as a regular space character.
For example, if a non-breaking space is inserted between Van and Dyke, Reunion will see the entry as one word instead of two. It would then be sorted in the V section.
