I'm not sure you really can.  Safely, at least.  The problem is that
when you have multiple fields, they're not in any particular order.  As
stored in the file they will be in some order, but you have no real
control over it.  So if you had something like

ARTIST=Joe Smith
ARTIST=Bill Johnson
ARTISTSORT=Smith, Joe
ARTISTSORT=Johnson, Bill

Squeezebox Server won't necessarily know how to associate the
ARTISTSORT fields with the correct ARTIST field.  In practice, it may
work, but if the field order were changed, then it would create a
mess.

If you want to do this you'd be better off using single fields with a
designated separator (say ";"), as is done with tagging systems that
don't support multiple fields.

ARTIST=Joe Smith;Bill Johnson
ARTISTSORT=Smith, Joe;Johnson, Bill

What I do whenever I have multiple artists is that I simply don't add
ARTISTSORT fields at all.  If the artist appears elsewhere in the
library and can safely be given an ARTISTSORT then it will be sorted
correctly.  It's not necessary to have it on every track in the
library.
