Thank you all for your help!

Regarding the autosort label in the grouping drawer: yes, it is displaying the wrong value. In one place I used the position in the labels table instead of correctly using the position as translated to the internal sort identifier. I have fixed this.

Germane to this bug, I also added custom columns to the sort menu. When I first did the work I was overly tired and I created a mess. Today I stripped it all out and started over. The reason this is germane is that from the user's point of view there is an interaction between custom columns, the autosorts, what is displayed in the grouping drawer, and what is displayed in the sort menu. Just because you can group on something doesn't mean you want to sort on it and vice versa, so I needed to add the custom columns to the "Show" preferences. And then, if I can sort on a column then why can't I autosort on it? No good reason other than laziness, so I added the sortable custom columns as autosort values.

I am still working on all of this. I expect to make a new release tomorrow or, more likely, on Friday.
