COMPOSERSORT etc does not work in 7.9. Reading the comments in the bug
report, I think the issue about multiple sort fields is a bit of a red
herring. There are already multiple fields with ARTISTSORT and
ALBUMARTISTSORT and the somewhat arbitrary scheme of precedence works.
You need a separate tag for COMPOSERSORT so that it gets matched to the
COMPOSER tag, not some other contributor. There are many (mostly dead)
composers who are not artists so won't otherwise acquire a sort key
unless they are deliberately added as artists. BTW I am a bit confused
about ORCHESTRA. This is not listed as a contributor field in the
database schema as far as I am aware. I thought the contributor fields
are ARTIST, ALBUMARTIST, COMPOSER, CONDUCTOR, BAND and TRACKARTIST, so
we need a sort field to match each of those tags. I use TRACKARTIST in
my classical music tagging scheme for the soloists etc who are not the
main artist. This requires multiple names (separated by a semi-colon). I
think that would work OK with the sort key so long as the order is the
same - it seems to work that way with ARTIST. 
I thought of a work-round by using dummy files with just the missing
ARTIST and ARTISTSORT tags, but it really is rather ugly.
