Musicbrainz (where Banshee gets its metadata from when ripping CDs)
already has a field (artist/sort-name) for that (and analogues
for album and track). There are  corresponding ID3 tags
(TSOP - Performer sort order, TSOA, ...).
But AFAICT Banshee currently lacks support on any level for these
(i.e. doesn't retrieve 'em from Musicbrainz, doesn't honor or
generate ID3 tags etc).
