After selecting CD Ripper Options > Tags & Filenames > Meta Data & ID Tag > Options > Write ID tags: Artist Sort, I ripped a CD, but Mp3tag shows no sign of any tag called Artist Sort.
Where might I be going wrong?

Did the metadata for the CD have the tag artist sort filled?

If the Artist Sort is the same as Artist, there is little point for it to exist, because anything which uses artist sort will fall back to artist if not present.

In some circumstances, Artist and Artist Sort would be the same (several pop music stars are known by just one name). However, the purpose of Artist Sort is to deal with those that have at least two names. For example, the Artist 'Daniel Barenboim' should have an Artist Sort tag of 'Barenboim, Daniel'. Does CD Ripper offer any assistance for automatically generating such an Artist Sort tag from the Artist tag?
It does not.

Thanks for that clarification. However, I am still puzzled why my initial experiments didn't even succeed in creating empty Artist Sort tags. Does CD Ripper Options > Tags & Filenames > Meta Data & ID Tag > Options > Write ID tags: Artist Sort only work in the very unlikely event that the disc contains a setting for that tag?
It writes the tag if the tag has a value, either provided by the metadata databases or typed in by you.

To my understanding the tag would appear on the starting screen of CD Ripper, if you have chosen the provider with that tag information. Otherwise you can add it by hand on the starting screen.

I can't find any way to display Artist Sort (or any custom tag) on the main screen of CD Ripper. When I right click to see the options for tag display it doesn't give me the option of selecting Artist Sort. Am I missing something?
The Tags option at the foot of that screen only handles metadata that applies for all tracks. Artist, and thus Artist Sort, can be different for each track.
You can see, edit and add artist sort in the tag section (register "TAG") at the bottom of the screen.
