Yes, but it displays titles and authors first in the search results, so they are easy to spot.
More usefully, if you have the home page sorted by title or author, then typing a single letter will take you to the point in the list at which titles or authors with that initial letter start. That's the fastest way to navigate a long list if you know the name.

And just to clarify, you can add the same book to multiple collections (read it in the same article)? Does it create multiple files on Kindle (less books will fit) or no? Also how subcollections work? Or is it just a fancy name without a function? I mean I have a fantasy collection and I want subcollection sci-fi. Both these will show up in the same list or sci-fi collection will be inside fantasy collection which makes it neater?

There are no "sub collections". Collections aren't folders, but tags that are applied to a file. Yes, a single book can a member of multiple collections, but there's still only one copy of the book on the Kindle.

And you can't even sort alphabetically book lists/collections? I'd like to have that choice.

Certainly you can. You can sort the home screen by author, title, collections, or "most recently accessed". You can also, independently of the home screen ordering, sort the contents of collections by author, title, or most recent.
