To clarify, sorting on the authors column always uses author_sort. There is no need to use a second column to get this behavior.

You might want to use a second column if you are using "FN LN" author names and "LN, FN" author_sort values, and you want to be able to sort by author instead of author_sort. You would do this if you sometimes want David Gemmell sorted next to David Weber, both under 'D'.
