I just don't see any other way to make a collection that appears on my Kindle screen than the old manual put it in yourself by hand way. I've been reading and reading the forums and can't find a better way ...
Did I miss something?  I'm really going crazy trying to figure this out ...
Thank you in advance 
BTW, Love my KINDLE!!!!!  Much better screen and quality than my old eReader!

But take care; if you load a lot of books, the Kindle needs time for indexing and reloading. Just give it a rest for a bit, and than you can go ahead. I loaded a lot of books 2/300 at one go till I had my library on the Kindle (2000).
Also take time to read carefully in the manual what it says about collections.
There are threads about this. Like one from Harry explaining how to make your collections appear at the beginning. ( g.e. name a collection with a symbol up front: - A. Crime - B. Novel). Than let the Kindle sort it by ' title' and the collections will be the first to appear in alphabetical order.
Remember that if you are in a collection; there's a menu-option for adding/removing a whole page.
I used to order my books by alphabet; but now I'm happy with categories g.e. - A. Crime A-H etc. Good luck.
