Metadata Display presets don't remember chosen order

The Metadata Display customization could be a little more helpful, mainly having a way for saved settings to remember the order we have placed the metadata columns in. I find that each new project I start (while I can bring up the particular fields I want again), I have to re-order them in my project window each time. Adding order to a saved setting would remove a lot of headache.

100% agree that metadata display should be tied to workspace, remember order and even be saved with the project

Please implement this as soon as possible. The Metadata Display settings SHOULD be tied to a workspace, without fail.

The order of my metadata columns resets every time I open the same project, so I'm having to arrange the columns into their proper order every time I open the project. Not good enough. These columns should only need to be customized ONCE then remembered thereafter.

The metadata columns and its location should have saved to the workspace but I also find it failing.

I have a set of metadata display that I like to use in the project panel and save as MyMeta.
I found that when I load MyMeta up, the metadata display column order is not the one that I've saved.


Then I set the metadata columns again for each workspace and save changes to each workspace and unchecked the option "import Workspace from projects".


When I create a new project, the metadata display in project panel resets to its default.


It seems to me, the metadata display and its order are saved to the project but not workspace.

If it can be saved to workspace, it'd definitely help a lot.

Now, my workaround is to create a empty project as my template with my favorite metadata display settings. And use this to create new project so that the metadata display is set to my preference.
