I can put books in a collection in any order I want. I can do so on a Sony Reader or a Kindle. Those are the only two brands I have collection experience with.
With my 650, I can change the order of the collection using Reader Library.
I'm not sure if I can reorder on Sony or Kindle existing collections without deleting and remaking the collections. But in any case, I can do this.
Take the Linden Universe series of books. The recommended order on the first page of the thread, I can use that order for the collection. I can then change my mind and go with the chronological order or I could go with published order or I could have three different collections in all of those orders and I'd only need one copy of each book for this.
Another thing I can do with collections that you cannot do with directories is I can have a collection that contains books in the order I plan to read them. Say maybe the next five books. They can be in an order that's not sortable.
I don't even need to have the series name in the title or even the metadata. As long as they are in the proper order in a collection, I can read in the order I want.
