Other solutions have already been suggested, but on the Mac
(if I remember correctly) you may circumvent this kind of problem
by typing a "option"-space between SPSS and Inc.  this way it'll
be treated as one word.

You run into the same kind of problems with composite names,
like Olle van Morell, if you want to keep van Morell together
and sort on van you use option-space.
