For the Original Poster.
I deal with pseudonyms in varying ways, but most frequently I will place their "Pseudonym" in author field followed by aka Real Name and then manually enter the author_sort field with the Author's real name (LN, FN). this way all books written by a given author will all sort together.

Since you already have a solution that works for you feel free to ignore the rest. I'm not trying to convert you. The great thing about calibre is the way we all choose to use it to fit our individual requirements.
However since you find the majority of your collections to be useless try narrowing the field. Currently I'm guessing your collections are created by calibre based on any tags and series info for a given book. You can minimize collections by not creating collections based on tags.
Go to Preferences - Plugins - Device interface plugins - Sony and customize. You will end up with some thing like my attachment. Ensure only Series is in the lower window. This will ensure the only collections created on your device will be based on Series information.
While you're poking around go to Preferences - Sending books to device and set metadata management to automatic (see attached). this will ensure any metadata you change will be automatically updated when you connect your reader for any books on your device.
