In the plugin, only set your Custom Column to "Create", and set Author/Author Sort/Series to blank.

Create your custom column (probably comma separated like tags) using the template {series:'ifempty($, field('author'))'} which says if the series column is empty use the author column's data, otherwise use the data from the series column (or use 'author_sort' instead of 'author' to do last name first).

Look on the first post under Calibre tips: Custom Column for more variations.
Thank you, Meme. I'll give it another go when I'm back on my feet.
Do I need to tell Calibre to delete the previous collections or just switch them to "blank"?
