Can you add this new "Authors LN" column to be appearing to the list in left of the interface (where Authors, Series, Formats etc. are)?
No, because it isn't a real column.

The authors column at the left (in the tags pane) is sorted according to each author's sort value. You can see these by right-clicking on an author and choosing manage authors. If these are not how you want authors sorted, then fix them. Note that changing the sort string on this dialog will also update books written by those authors.

If you *really* want both sorts in the tag browser, you can do it manually. Create a text (single value) custom column, which will appear in the tags pane. Then use search/replace to copy author_sort to that column. From time to time you will need to do the copy again, because changes you make to authors, and new books, won't be copied.
