Thank you for the quick reply, Charles.

I'm not sure that I agree that author_sort would provide no additional information.

I think some users would prefer to see author_sort instead of author.

As it happens I am not one of them but there have been times when I have imported a new book and not noticed that although author was imported correctly, author_sort was not. These have come to light later when I have created a Calibre catalog which has flagged errors. I have then corrected them and all is well. If I'd had the ability to view author_sort at-a-glance, I may have noticed them sooner. I know you can see this info in Edit Metadata but if you don't know there's a problem you wouldn't go looking.
