Exactly. Right now I have it hidden in the menu, but it might be acceptable to show it in order to see the current sort and sort direction.

Having said that, I think I like your idea a lot better. Show it in the top section of the grouping drawer under to the grouping information. Since that line can get long, I would leave the grouping information line alone and have the next line become

XXX books sorted by YYY Ascending (or descending as the case may be).

This might not be as terrible as you think. Still very terrible, just not as terrible.
