There might even be a value in not doing this duplication as it enables the user to see easily where the default sort value has been overridden (by putting the xxxSORT tag in indexTags).

I must disagree, the trouble with this approach is its difficult to determine if an artist doesn't have a sort album artist because the sort album artist is the same or just because the user hasn't got round to entering a sort album artist. And making this distinction for a growing music collection is unmanageable, a particular problem would be remembering to add the sort album artist as necessary when adding a new album by a particular artist.

The memory and processing costs would surely be marginal.
