Public bug reported:

Currently in Mahara if I have a collection (Portfolio -> Collections)
and I click on the 'Copy a collection' button I am taken to
view/choosetemplate.php?searchcollection=1 (which has Portfolio -> Pages
menu highlighted rather than Portfolio -> Collections).

The table of results is ordered by page name rather than collection
name, then page name.

>From what I can tell the searchcollection=1 in the url does nothing. 
Looking at the commit:  86d8cc21d40343cb4bcd4a827d0f55887a01f2ec
It never did anything but could be utilised to 

a) have the Portfolio -> Collections menu highlighted instead of Portfolio -> Pages when coming from collections
b) make the table sort by collection, then pages instead of just pages

I feel these changes would make for better user experience

Another way to make things a bit easier to understand would be to have
only one 'Copy collection' button in the table for each collection
instead of one for each page in a collection. (similar to how Content ->
Notes now works for which textboxes are in which pages).

See collection table mockup of what I mean
