You are correct. When the UI loads, the addon list is loaded alphabetically.
However, all immediate Blizzard "addons" are loaded first and then the user addons are loaded after. Blizzard_Collections is not loaded. It is not active when you see your character after logging in or reloading. So, no matter what you name your addon, Blizzard's "addons" will either be loaded already or not there.
You have two options. You found one, which is to put it as a dependency. The other is to simply use LoadAddOn().
