Would it be possible to have a preference field which determines which columns/fields would be made into collections.

I have a custom-column (series type) with a sub-series, and would like that to become a collection.
That is already there. Go to device customization at preferences -> plugins -> devices -> Sony and change the collections box.

and enter a number that they would like the books to appear in order in.
Ahhh, you are responding to the user who wants his own order.

Just use a series column and set the index to the order you want. Another column type is not needed. Note that you can use bulk edit to set the series index in the order you want. Select the books in the right order, choose 'auto number' for the series column in question, and force start the numbering at 1. They will be numbered in the order they were selected.
