My bad... Save your screen as a "View" (it even says, and I even wrote "display using view.") 🤦🏿♂️ (It's still good to save both your Layouts and Views, though. I use the same name for each.)
So, what you want to do is set up your Layout and View, then click the Layout-looking button to the left of the search bar at the top of the screen.
Click Main Panel -> Custom Views -> Copy Current View Settings to...
Then it'll be available in the "Edit PlaylistType" drop-down list.
Ok, thank you.....but the problem is still open.
Yes, I created now a customview from currently selected playlist with MANUAL sorting. This custom view is saved and selected in Playlist Settings of the target Playlist (see attached snapshot).
Now I switch over to another playlist and select a different sorting with Artist-Title. I play some songs.
After that I switch back to my first Playlist and...... the sort order has changed from "Manual" to "Artist-Title" (just as the second playlist).
From what you said the playlist should always pay attention to the "display using view" from its own playlist settings
But this is not the case.
It seems to me that the sort order is NOT part of the custom view definition.
When I look at the custom View XML file (see below) then I cannot find an element similar to
<sortorder>Manual</sortorder>
So is the sort order really a part of a custom view?
