1) It is painstakingly slow, for those who have a lot of books to organize, as each book has to entered into the collection one at a time. And although you can put that same book in multiple collections, you have to scroll through all of them which again cane be very slow if you use a lot of different collections.

2) Collections are listed in "Most Recent" order in respect to creation and then use. I find this irritating because I like to have things in alphabetical order.
There are some options.
Think well before you make collections.
To view your collections in alphabetical order, you have to name them with a symbol first, for example:

_ A. Novel A-L
_ A. Novel M-Z
_ B. Reading
_ C. Literature
Important is to add a space after the underscore or other symbol.
The Kindle will sort alphabetically if you let the books shown by title = gives you the collections in alphabetical order and then your books.(top of the screen).
The Kindle will also sort alphabetically within the name you gave the collection.
And remember there's also the possibility of adding/removing a whole page when making a collection.
Good luck; its doable and once done, you're good for ever.
