You can select the name and title, press Cmd-7, then manually edit the “Topic” field to show: Griffith, Kelly, MD
It takes longer because you have to edit each one.

I just thought of another possible solution… Peter Kahrel has a script that converts character styled text into an index:

That can also reverse names… but I don’t think it works with titles. I’m going to email him and ask if there’s any easy solution.
