Yes. C) None of the above.
I prefer screenshot 2, but changed to something like the following:
I didn't bother to write code to center the radio buttons in the grid.
This example shows 2 things. The first is the use of common column labels, making explicit the coupling implicit in columns. The second is introduction of soundex for author names, which seems reasonable, given that soundex was invented for names.
I prefer the column layout even if you don't want to add soundex for authors. In this case I would have two empty holes in the grid. What I am trying to achieve is common headers.
An alternate that might work better for me is shown below. This one avoids the notion of columns and rows, instead using groups. I think this layout reduces the semantic coupling between the two sets of options caused by the row/column layout.
However, both of your proposals work. I won't be unhappy if you pick either one.
