At the moment you can achieve an individual sorting of the collection entries e.g. via the number field.  
But to keep the overview is very difficult. Furthermore it is very time-consuming, if e.g. an additional entry has to be inserted at a certain position afterwards.

My idea would be that you could sort the collection entries manually (like collection fields or pages) and then use this sorting as a basis for the order.

I hope it is understandable what I mean. Otherwise just ask. 😉

Thanks Martin!

I am convinced that would be a very good feature that would be very helpful for many applications.  
Actually whenever the sorting should not be simply alphabetical or by date. → Team members, references etc.

So a clear +1 for me 😉
