For collections to show in the Sort menu, you have to ‘download’ one or more of them. At that point they show up mixed in with books, even when Sort is not set to Collections, which I call ‘clutter’. And when Sort is by Collections, you see the collections and then books (it makes no sense but that’s the way it works). This design pre-dates Cloud Collections, and I guess they felt it would disturb people to change anything.

The way to see collections by themselves is to set Filter to Collections (it is way at the bottom of the Filter options, so you will probably need to swipe to get to it).

I don’t download collections, myself, because of the ‘clutter’ I mention above. They’re still fully ‘there’ and functional: you can Add/Remove from anywhere, and use Filter=Collections if you really need to do more with them.

IMO, they should (more or less) copy the iOS and Android app: change Sort menu to ambiguous up/down arrow icon, have View option toggle between Grid/List/Collections, and Sort options that toggle between Recent/Title/Author/Publication Date. Remove it from Filters. Makes NO sense to have ‘sort by collection’.

iOS implementation is weak once you open a collection however, you cannot change the order or add new items. Android is better in this respect.
