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.

ok thank you for the explanation/possible reasoning for why that option isn't there. as i said i hadn't noticed before that collections couldn't be sorted by recent because while i'm using the old tiled home screen that already does what i require/want it to do.
my idea was that if i could sort collections by recent like it can be done with the books/authors/series, i'd click on my books from the home screen and then go into the collections list and i would be greeted by the last 10 recent collections on the first page, which would only be a couple of clicks away from having them on the home screen like i already do now in the 3.16.0 firmware.
obviously because i would like the feature/option to be there so that i could upgrade to the latest firmware while still maintaining the user software capabilities that i'm use to/prefer. i think it's a shame that the collection tab is the only 1 out of the 4 tabs that doesn't have sort by recent available.
edit. i'm pretty sure you will know already while inside a collection the books can indeed be sorted by recent, it's only while looking/going thorough the full collections list that the feature/option isn't there.
