the sort by recent in the book list works exactly the same way in the latest firmware and in 3.16.0, both firmware's show the last 5 books opened on the first page of the book list. the collections list shows 10 collections on each page, as i've already said before i have 35 pages of collections=350 in total.
if the firmware gave me the feature/option to sort by recent in the collections list, like it does in books/authors. i would be able to open 1 book from 10 different collections and those last 10 collections would be shown on the first page of the collections list. that would make it far easier than having to go through the whole 35 pages of collections.

Yes, that is how the collections was done on the tiled home screen. But, using that becomes inconsistent with the other "Recent" sorts. Those are purely based on the book inside them being opened. They don't care were the book was. And what about adding or removing items from a collection? Shouldn't that put the collection at the top. Or creating a new collection. And if I simply look at a collection, scroll through it looking for a book, shouldn't that be considered a "recent" use?
I do remember discussions here about when a tile for a collection was added to the home screen. Some where confused and didn't like the way it was done. And that might be the reason it wasn't added. Though collections (shelves at the time) were added before the tiled home screen, so it is just as likely it was never a function that was considered to be needed.
