Two methods: calibre_report_duplicates by mekk, and calibredb list --sort-by (series|author|title|author_sort|size)
both return the ID, which then gets piped into the merge. You can also parse it so that you select your base ID as the top result from hits that contains ISBN, then publisher, and then book type in order of preference.
