AFAIK the order they are created are the order that they appear and I too wish there was a way for you to change the sort order. And I too have had trouble getting my collections to import into my Touch from K4pc. Though I am not going to complain too much after all 700 of the 800 appeared in the collection they belonged in. Unfortunately getting the other 100 in their collection was quite tedious. I never realized how dependent I was on the Calibre collections plugin.
