I don’t do this myself so I don’t know all of the details.
ilovejedd mentioned this to me in another thread.

Apparently, there is currently no other option than, according to ilovejedd:
  1. Jailbreaking the Kindle Paperwhite 4: there's one available for PW4 with fw5.10.0.1/5.10.0.2; just prevent it from auto updating after the jailbreak.
  2. Install KUAL with LibrarianSync add-on on the Kindle Paperwhite 4.
  3. Manage collections with Calibre via the Calibre Kindle Collections plugin.

(sigh)

Thanks again for your patience an the information. I was trying to see if there were any more options... but at least there are some options. I'll now check if I can manage to use said options: I'd glady receive any pointers to tutorials or instructions on that regard.

Again, I remain very gratefully yours,
