Not every ereader uses collections on their device.

My device creates collections based on tags and/or series.

When I transfer books to my device this column is filled in based on the tags and series that were converted to a collection when transferred to my device.

I'm not sure how your device sorts books on your device or if it even uses collections. It may be that your device sorts books via folders and not collections which means that column will always be empty.

You can customize how items are saved to device under preferences - plugins - device interface plugin. If you changed your save template to {tags}/{author_sort}/{title} - {authors} then tags like horror, sci-fi, mystery would create top level folders to contain books with those tags.

Good Luck
