I imagine you are right.  SC will take the individual track performer.  If you 
had a compilation album described with a cue sheet, there is no way to specify 
an artistsort for each performer.

I think that if you didn't have a performer tag for each song, it would use the 
FLAC file ARTIST tag, and then probably use the ARTISTSORT.

Yes, that would be my guess.

Cuesheets are very limited.  There's hardly any official tags (or documentation 
at all, actually).  Some apps seem to support extra information in the form of 
REM statements (comments), eg. REM PERFORMERSORT=XXX.  You could perhaps file 
an enhancement request to add some tag support to cuesheets like that.  Perhaps 
do some research to see if any other app has anything similar first to be 
compatible with their system (I doubt you will find anything though).

I've given up with cuesheets, and now rip to FLAC individual files.  Other 
reasons for this are that FLAC works gapless, and also MusicIP can scan each 
track as an individual song, so songs are mixable (whole albums as a single 
FLAC don't work well for mixing).
