I am afraid that is not possible. And even if there were different
local collections, this would not change the sorting in the Collection
Browser, as the sorting extends to all listed collections. It would be
quite a hassle and probably quite some additional code complexity to
have different sorting for different collections.

But you can very easily change the display with the Wrench-button top
right of the Collection Browser.

As for the searching:

it is quite easy to search by either Artist or Composer, that is
independent of the sorting order, as you enter the search term in the
search field anyway.
