I was wondering, with all the recent developments, whether there is now some kind of regex search I could run to identify them instead. As there are only ever likely to be a handful, I do not need to correct them automatically.
How do you visually identify them? Are they missing a comma (we can test for that), or do they look wrong (can't test for that).

Searching on author_sort will be supported in the next release (I didn't realize we didn't already have it). Once that happens, you can find all author_sort values that don't have commas using
Code:
not author_sort:~,
(or for completeness)
author_sort:~^[^,]*$
Note that the current release can search author_sort values if you make a composite column containing {author_sort}.
