Placement of Jr. and Sr. with biblatex (v2)

Question

This is another case in which a previous biblatex code no longer performs the desired function due to changes in biber/biblatex.

When running the code from Commas in biblatex entries, which itself is an update from Placement of Jr. and Sr. with biblatex, the words Jr. and Sr. are no longer placed after the person's name in the reference list. I'm running biblatex verson 3.11 with biber version 2.11.

The problematic changes should be https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/299036/35864 from 3.3 more than two years ago. — moewe, Feb 04 '19 at 16:22
@moewe I don't think I'd be able to piece together from that what I need to do to put "Jr." back after the name. — Sverre, Feb 04 '19 at 16:24

This is due to changes in the name format for biblatex 3.3. See also Biblatex 3.3 name formatting.

While details are different in the new name format, the general structure of macros like name:family-given (formerly name:last-first) has stayed the same. With some experience it is therefore possible to convert from the old to the new name format (as explained in Ulrike's answer to the linked question and the links there). So to make my life easier I just copied name:family-given from biblatex.def and compared it to your name:last-first. The only structural change to the original name:family-given is the position of the lines involving #4/\mkbibnamesuffix.

Note that I made the comma before "Jr."/"Sr." customisable with \bibnamedelimsuffix.

     \usebibmacro{name:hook}{#3#1}%

       \ifcapital
         {\mkbibnameprefix{\MakeCapital{#3}}\isdot}
         {\mkbibnameprefix{#3}\isdot}%
       \ifprefchar{}{\bibnamedelimc}}%
     \mkbibnamefamily{#1}\isdot
     \ifdefvoid{#2}{}{\revsdnamepunct\bibnamedelimd\mkbibnamegiven{#2}\isdot}%
     \ifdefvoid{#4}{}{\bibnamedelimsuffix\mkbibnamesuffix{#4}\isdot}}
