Android, menu showAsAction="always" being ignored

There are lots of questions regard my problem but I believe I'm following those answers but still when I launch the application my item is not visible (it's under over flow menu).

This my menu.xml

<menu
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <item
        android:id="@+id/action_sort_asc"
        app:showAsAction="always"
        android:title="@string/action_sort"
        android:icon="@drawable/ic_arrow_down"/>

...

MainActivity extended Activity and not ActionBarActivity. Although Android studio preview shows it in Actionbar (and other items inside overflow), however, this item is not visible when I launch the app.

Any idea would be appreciated. Thanks.
