Is that something you expected to happen/see?
Yes. author_sort isn't one of the visible columns in Calibre so I no longer include it in the list of Calibre columns to show in customization. Before I was extracting all available label information for a book, but some labels like author_sort (or title_sort, isbn) aren't user columns in Calibre so they don't have proper names (e.g. Author Sort) defined by Calibre and instead of coding for the special case I dropped it.

You can still use author_sort by defining a custom column with author_sort and including that custom column in the plugin.
