If this has been answered before, please point me to the right post. I'm a complete novice to Calibre :/

Many thanks in advance
No sub-collections.
I have a genre custom column where I have hierarchal tags. fantasy, fantasy.urban, fantasy.mystery etc. These show up one after another so it is workable.

You can have series and author shelves as well, but on the Kobo readers a lot of shelves slows down opening the shelf menu horrendously. It is okay on my mini with series and genre shelves, but on my Aura HD with more books it takes a minute to just open the shelf menu.

Works very well on Sony readers though.
