I assume you're side loading, otherwise there is a Read property when you finish the book (or just want to mark it as such) that you then can use in a Filter. When this showed up I got rid of that collection.
If they ever add filter for Started (anything that you've turned a page for), or an option to have these always appear at the top of the list, I could get rid of my Currently Reading collection.
If they let you set a Favorites (or equivalent) property that would eliminate my Read Next collection.
I also have one for omnibus books ('complete works of' etc.) and Foreign Language books (which I aspire to be able to read one day).
Regarding the original topic, note that one has to touch the Save button after updating collections, and not Close (X), which will cancel the update. I sometimes tap the latter by mistake and wonder why it didn't 'take'.
