Would it be possible to have the Sort Icon do the same thing?
Note that there are two possibilities for this request:
1) Simple: Don't change the Icon for different sorts, but how Z on top of A for reverse sorts.
2) More work: Show a different little icon for each sort. Perhaps instead of the arrow, show a T,A,S,P,D. This might be harder for date sorts, because how would you know which one you had done, but perhaps people who use date sorts concentrate on just one of them.

I don't understand the request. The show icons can change because there is only one option, switch to what isn't showing now. There is never a need to open a sub-menu. This isn't the case with sort, so tapping the icon will never do anything other than open the selections menu. And I thought you moved that icon off the action bar.
Perhaps you are looking for some indication about how the list is currently sorted? The TASPD idea seems to indicate that. If there is space on the action bar then the icon can be accompanied by text. Alternatively the current sort could be displayed somewhere such as at the top of the grouping drawer where the current group is displayed. Or (said somewhat tongue in cheek) there might be a way to pop up a "current status" display showing how many books in the library, how it is grouped, and how it is sorted. Perhaps a long-press on the affordance icon in the corner.
At any rate, I need to better understand what you are really asking for.
