I think it should sort using the hash. I don't want to introduce behavior that could confuse the syntax of a lookup name.

The only question related to the changes is if the Status is in the correct place. It will normally be empty and having it were it is feels like it is wasting space. Would you like to hide it until a change is made? Though that might be confusing.

Hiding it doesn't help because the columns don't grow to take up the unused space. However, moving it to the end does help because you can hide most of the column behind the right side of the dialog and use the tool tip or scroll bar to see it if needed. I did this.

The other thing that occurred to me is that none of the core columns have descriptions. A description on the not-so-obvious one could be good. And no, I'm not volunteering

Sorry, I am not going to add that. I think it would turn into a good deed that can't go unpunished.
EDIT: I decided to submit the changes to Kovid.
EDIT 2: The changes are now in calibre source
