If I should figure out how to do it, can this then be replicated as a collection on the reader itself?

Sorry, I was a bit sloppy in my terminology.
I was referring to custom columns - these can be created by going into Preferences | Interface and then selecting the plus (+) icon to define a new column to appear in the display. This new column can then be edited either in the metadata screen or by double-clicking the column in the main listing.
These new columns are not visible as collections on my Sony - only the entries in the Series column and the Tags column are translated into collections on the ereader - one collection for each series and each separate tag.
The collections on the ereader display titles in the order in which they were added to the ereader which I find rather irritating.
My usage of the custom columns 'Have Read' and 'Waiting' is to drive a search in Calibre to select all unread items waiting to be read. The results of this search are then fed into a Calibre catalogue entitled 'Current Reading'. This is downloaded to the ereader as an epub. I can then consult the catalogue to refresh my memory as to what I should be reading next.
And yes, I admit it, I derive a certain amount of pleasure from twiddling with Calibre and organising my collection, as well as the great pleasure derived from reading. But hey, it keeps me off the streets!
