Dwight I am away from my office PC and the fact that you are even asking this question makes me nervous of my ground(!) , but my firm impression was that in MLO on Windows if you have more than one View that does not have any sort order applied within the "Filter > Group & Sort" section, then if you move the sort order around 'manually' (e.g. by selecting a row [or more than one row] and then doing shift/alt/up-arrow or shift/alt/down-arrow), then the new sort order that you create in this 'manual' manner will be reflected in ALL the Views that you have to which you have not applied an automatic sort based on field content (using "Filter > Group & Sort"). This manually set up sort is what I am calling 'the main sort order'.
i.e. There appears to be a sort order that that can be manually adjusted, that ripples out to all views that do not have sorting in place. i.e. It is NOT true to say that 'manual' sorting is at stored the individual View level. Instead there seems to be a single 'main' or 'master' sort order that the user can adjust task-by-task, and whatever that sort order is will be used in all other views that do not have any sorting set up. Personally I have started to use this manual sorting quite extensively and most of my views are sorted using the main/master manual sort. And the fact that the app does not seem to pay any attention to this sort order I find to be disappointing.
