I wonder if this has changed? My db has author_sort set to Unknown for all my Unknowns? I did a quick test by adding an empty book, and author_sort was set to Unknown for it. Under what circumstances is author_sort left empty? Is it during import, with an empty author, or only by clearing the author_sort field?
