Not sure what you mean with multiple value field, if you are talking
about Custom Scan configuration it should be able to map the correct
XXX tag with the correct XXXSORT tag value as long as you have listed
the multiple values in exactly the same order, for example:
PERFORMER=Some Artist;Other Artist
PERFORMERSORT=Artist Some;Artist Other

PERFORMER is not scanned by LMS as far as I know.
Custom Scan keeps its data in completely separate tables from standard
LMS tables, each row have a value and a sortvalue, the sortvalue is set
if you have configured a sorting.

For COMPOSER/COMPOSERSORT and CONDUCTOR/CONDUCTORSORT, you will have to
decide if you want LMS standard scanner to scan it or if you want Custom
Tag in Custom Scan to scan it. If you don't do this, you will get
duplicate entries in the menu in the user interface.
If you want standard LMS to scan it, you don't configure any of these
tags in the Custom Tag scanning module configuration.
If you want Custom Tag to scan them, you make sure to leave the
"Composer tags" and "Conductor tags" fields empty in the Mixed Tag
scanning module configuration, and of course enter the tags in the
Custom Tag scanning module configuration.

For COMPOSER/COMPOSERSORT, you need to decide. Either you let LMS scan
them and then sorting won't work, unless the same artist also exist in
an ARTIST/ARTISTSORT combination. Or you let Custom Scan scan them both
through the Custom Tag scanning module as described above.
I don't think PERFORMER is scanned by LMS, if it is and I've just
missed it, you need to handle it the same way as
COMPOSER/COMPOSERSORT.
I hope this gave you some more information, but don't be afraid to ask
if you have further questions or want something clarified.
