• In the creation box wich pops up enter:
  

  Lookup name: myauthor
  Column Heading: My_Author
  Column type: Column built from other columns
  Template: {author_sort}

  and press OK. The blue items can be names of your choice. (There may be restrictions with upper/lowercase, I'm not sure)
  
  
• You will then see the field My_Author has been added to the bottom of the list of available columns.
  
• Click on Apply. You will then need to close Calibre and restart it again to see the extra column.
  
• Once you have restarted you can drag-drop the new My_Author column heading into whichever position you want to see it

Perfect. That's exactly what I wanted/needed. Not sure why that's not a configurable option, but for now, I'm content.

Thank you.
