I suspect adding, debugging and testing the functionality to allow sorting collections by last access time would not be worth the number of people who would consider such a function useful. The database does have a field for last modified and last accessed time in the Shelf table so most of the work on that end has been done however an index for the last accessed/modified time would need to be added.

I don't search for collections. I search for authors, titles, series, the occasional Kobo store book, the occasional library book. As mentioned all too often, I found collections un-useful when I made them granular enough to be worth having.

Not just I personally would not use it. It's also that I don't see that the number of people who would use that functionality is sufficient to justify the development cost.

And because I can't resist... a new keyboard with a functional shift key would keep you from appearing to be the re-incarnation of e.e. cummings. Though it was tempting to type my entire response to you in UPPER CASE.
