Thus I take back my "it can't be done", changing it to "it can be done but in different way".

I am having trouble coming up with the short text that describes what this option would do. It needs to be around 25 characters or less and it can't imply a "default sort". It should mention tapping on "Groups" if it fits. Examples: "Sort when Groups (no grouping) is tapped" (too long). Suggestions welcome.
I knew you were going to come back with a solution.

Before I give a suggestion, I have a few questions:

1) Will this sort be triggered when you go to a grouping that doesn't have an auto-sort?

2) Will this sort be triggered if you hit the back button while looking at a grouping of books. Or, two backs if you are deeper into the group? IE, will this sort be triggered whenever you get to a state when the grouping bar says "No grouping"?

3) Will this sort be triggered when you launch the app?

If the answer to all three questions is yes, then I suggest you call it "Default Sort" and change the text for the "Auto-sort when choosing a group" to:

Tap here to choose a sort to automatically apply when a group is selected. This will override the Default sort.
