Kindle Oasis 10th gen.

I have always liked to keep my collections sorted in order of most recently opened. Since installing firmware 5.14.1, the only option is alphabetical order or, if I choose Recent, collections mixed with random books. There is no option to have only collections showing in order of most recently accessed.
There is also now no option to get rid of the Home page and all the junk put there by Amazon.
Nor do I understand how, after installing the new firmware, my "want to read" list from Goodreads appeared on the Home page, as my kindle is permanently in airplane mode and I loaded the firmware by USB.
Am I missing something? Is this just another botched firmware "upgrade"? Or is there something out of whack in my kindle?

The Oasis is very nice to read with, but I find myself more and more wanting to ditch Amazon's part in it. Been eyeing up the new Kobos ...
