Now I am unable to scrape the internal html and parse it so that I can create an excel spreadsheet of my books to enter into my Calibre library. Also, if you have more than 100 books going through them 20 at a time is exhausting. Especially if I am unable to sort the collections. Also, why on Earth are the collections so dang hard to check off on the Website? When you go to add a book to a collection you get a box that shows the collections in recent view and unless you know the name exactly you cannot find it unless you manually scroll through them all - again they are listed in recent view without allowing you to sort them into title. So.. the only device I have out of my Kindle Paperwhite, my ipod, my Windows 10 and my Samsung Tablet that has the best app is the ipod, which sucks because it's an ipod and really small, but you still cannot sort within collections. Also, the collections are all in grid view (I think). I still haven't figured out how to import a collection into my Kindle for PC (but since i still use the old version because of Calibre, I don't expect much). The paperwhite is pretty good about being able to sort and set up collecitons, but I want to see my covers in color and in a bigger size. So, Amazon is really lacking in this department.

I just checked with my devices, and the only place that I can't sort within a collection is on the Content and Devices page on Amazon's website. Well, technically I can't do it on my Fire either, but I can't even view collections on that.
I'm able to sort within collections on my Oasis 3 and my Voyage, my iPad, and my Android phone. Unfortunately my daughter has my Paperwhite right now, so I can't test on that, but since the Voyage is older, I'm pretty confident that the sorting works on that, as well.
If it's only the Content and Devices page that you're complaining about, then that may be out of spec for this discussion. I was under the impression that we were talking about devices.
