how to collapse bootstrap 4 navbar

You need to include CDN version of jQuery before it, it's written in the bootstrap documentation.

How to ignore items in menu collapse with a left-hand hamburger for Bootstrap 4?

I figured it out with the help of Viswanatha Swamy.

Unfortunately, the col-sm-2 fixed-top did some unwanted things like shoved my cart and login button too far to the top, and some strange container-related things at different sizes. But it did fix the buttons on the outside of the hamburger.

I looked at the CSS behind Bootstrap's col-sm-2 and fixed-top. I ended up writing my own CSS to fix this.

I wrapped both buttons in a single div and added this CSS:

.loginFixed {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
right: 0;
left: auto;
z-index: 1030;
margin-top: 15px;
}

I needed the margin-top because a fixed top: 0 results in squishing at the VERY top, and any value for top results in the buttons falling down with the hamburger.

I added a margin-top to compensate for the top: 0 tightness.

The final button setup looks like this in HTML:

<div class="navbar-text loginFixed">
    <button class="btn btn-outline-dark btn-md" role="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#loginModal">Login</button>
                

    <a class="btn" href="cart.html"><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart fa-lg"></i></a>
</div>

And the whole menu looks like this:

<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-sm navbar-light bg-white sticky-top ">
    <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#oaNavbar">
        <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
    </button>

    <a class="navbar-brand mr-auto" href="#"><img src="img/logo-md-white.png" width="180" style="padding-left: 12px"/></a>
    <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="oaNavbar">
            <ul class="navbar-nav" style="padding-left: 5px">
                <li class="nav-item active"><a class="nav-link" href="#">Home</a></li>
                <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="collections.html"> Collections</a></li>
                <li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="categories.html"> Categories</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
  
    <div class="navbar-text loginFixed">
        <button class="btn btn-outline-dark btn-md" role="button" data-toggle="modal" data-target="#loginModal">Login</button>

        <a class="btn" href="cart.html"><i class="fa fa-shopping-cart fa-lg"></i></a>
    </div>
</nav>

Bootstrap 4 navbar/menu keep entry visible when collapsed

Since you're using Bootstrap 4, this answer is more relevant to your question:

https://stackoverflow.com/a/41513784/171456 (see the last part)

The part that you always want to keep visible needs to be separate from any of the collapsible parts. Then use the order-* classes to position the items as desired:
