Interesting. It didn't work. I'm still on Calibre 4.22.0 on Windows 10 and went to Preferences > Adding Books > Adding Actions, where I turned on "Mark newly added books" and "Auto-merge added books if they already exist" > "Overwrite existing duplicate formats." I assumed the "overwrite" option would replace the ORIGINAL_blah format. All that happened was the 202 books that got added were just given their own entries. Since they got added with an author format of FIRSTNAME LASTNAME instead of the LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME format I have via "Copy all author sort values to author," I'm guessing that the add function isn't recognizing the books as duplicates. I'll have to work on changing the author name before adding.
