When adding books and selecting 'Read from Book Title' instead of 'Read from Metadata', what would be the proper search function to check which books have the author's first and last name as the title, and the book title proper in the author's sort?

Dead Witch Walking did not write Kim Harrison. ;P

I assume I could add two different groups of books, the first group containing author's names then the book title, such as 'Neil Gaiman - Coraline' and adding the sequence

(?P<author>.+) - (?P<title>[^_]+) instead of (?P<title>.+) - (?P<author>[^_]+) and then adding another group of books that have the book name first and then the title, such as 'Coraline - Neil Gaiman' and reverting to the previous sequence, but is there an easier way?
