I put all names in Small Caps. This can be a criteria.
But not only names appears in Alphabetical Index,
too issues, names of institutions, etc., appears.

I think that this idea is not a solution well.

This method is better than previous, for now I am using
this, but I think that my suggestion generate lowest load
of work for author.

This work very well!
Before I posted about index entry I search in Google for
Lyx multi-level index entry and I can't get nothing of this.
I need reference manuals, Where I can download it?

About left align vs justify I suggest
http://desktoppub.about.com/od/typelayout/
If someone insists that fully justified text is better than left-aligned
text, tell them they are wrong. If someone else tells you that left-aligned
text is better than justified text, tell them they are wrong.
If they are both wrong, then what's right? Alignment is only a small piece of
the puzzle. What works for one design might be totally inappropriate for
another layout. As with all layouts, it depends on the purpose of the piece,
the audience and its expectations, the fonts, the margins and white space, and
other elements on the page. The most appropriate choice is the alignment that
works for that particular design.
