Author Sort is there because Sony's LRF format has a field "author reading as" (or some name close to that) which is obviously intended to be used to alphabetize author names. Unfortunately, the PRSxxx firmware appears to ignore that field. If they'd just honor the bloody thing all would be well. ePub defines a similar field (I forget the name, but it's there).
Calibre sticks its "author sort" data into the relevant LRF and ePub fields. But the *&^%&^%$&^$% Reader firmware ignores it. Sigh.
