How do you write name suffixes when the surname is written first?
For instance, which is the correct way of writing name suffixes,
Smith III, John or Smith, John III, if the name of the person is John Smith III?
Is there a reference or authority which I can cite regarding the format?

It’s Smith, John III. The best authority is the Gregg Reference Manual. I live by it.
