That's the selection I used. Interestingly, although my author sort is all messed-up still, I have about 250 more titles listed in my new Calibre book folder than I had in the old one. So, at least this method found the missing books. I guess how the author is listed makes little difference. If I search for an author, I get all iterations of his name anyway. I can always make the repair when I transfer a book to my Kindle.
