There are quite a lot of options for achieving this:
In Display preferences, you can create custom display formats for Names. And you can switch between using those various formats.
In the Names tab of the Edit Person dialogs, you can create multiple alternate forms for a person. And, although “Birth Name” is the default, you can can make any of those alternate forms the ‘preferred’ format for a particular person. (Because of the couverture custom of the bride taking the groom’s surname in the USA, I tend to want to see a wife’s “Married Name” rather than her “Birth Name”. Unfortunately, this isn’t terribly simple to do en masse.)
But you can also do individually controlled overrides to the default Grouping, Sorting and Display Formatting of each person.
Because of recent current events, creating a British Royalty family tree sample was useful. But the “Surname, Given Suffix” format didn’t lend itself to monarchs. So creating a custom Display format of “Title, Given SUFFIX” and a new name type of “Reign Name” allowed a special case helped with the short line of monarchs. (The sample below has Queen Elizabeth’s birth name, her name as the heir presumptive, and her Reign Name. The new Display Format made charts look nicer too… no extra commas or missing surnames to confusing their listing.
