I believe on the subscriber list they will be alphabetiszed as INC, in the
above example, although terms such as Jr. and II do not seem to affect the order
when following a name after a comma.  I have not observed what might happen
without the comma...

Perhaps reversing the order, so that title and institution name preceed the
subscriber name might be useful.  Or it may be that if you place a comma after
the name, it will be sorted on the lastname?  In effect the comma might
delimit a field?
