Duplicate Collections do not preserve custom sort of the original.

Question

Duplicate Collections do not preserve custom sort of the original. Tried every suggestion - drag and drop, "pre-set" manual, duplicate file in finder. Each method scrambles the sequence in the new collection. I do not want to rename the files in the original collection. Working with Bridge 2026, Mac OS 26.2.  Is this a hopeless pursuit?

Sadly, yes. I’ve found only two ways to accomplish custom settings that stick: change the dates or change the names. I’ve been asking for custom sort orders that can be saved for purposes such as yours for over 10 years.
