As brenthardy62 pointed out, you can currently do this for smart collections (built from the new advanced filter).

Beyond that this topic is already covered in an existing suggestion.  
Please vote/comment in that existing thread instead of posting a duplicate that’ll result in votes getting distracted/dispersed.

> We already can soft the collection by title or by release date. When sorted by release date, the oldest item is first and the newest is last. Entering a large collection on TV apps needs you to scroll through all old movies to reach the newly added ones. Please add a setting in the collection preference window to choose ascenting or descending release date order. Thx a lot. PS: Maybe there is already a request like this. I searched a while but did not find this.

Therefore closing this thread.
