Mass Editing of Author column

Have a very large library that I want have the author column to mic the author_sort column. Right now I am doing on entry at a time, but I am hoping for something that might speed up the process?

It might be simpler:
1) have you permanently set, your Author preferences?
Preferences: Tweaks: <ID: author_sort_copy_method>

2) use the Quality check Plugin to find the authors that are of the wrong flavor of commas
3) Select all (marked)
4)Quality check PI, Fix: Swap Author <this flips selected books
