If you ask for my personal/honest opinion… my money will be on multiple libraries and the flexibility of collections.

That being said… my opinion shouldn’t diminish your perspective/use case.

Collections starting with lower case letters should appear after those with upper case letters (they currently sorted intermixed (case insensitive)) and afford the opportunity to create collections like role - Brainard, Professor or actor - Sellers, Peter (since the actor filter has the name instead of the sortname). In addition special character prefixes sorte…

_Note to self… those two might actually be considered overlapping / redundant as well._
