I haven't been following this discussion closely so I am not sure whether this answers your question, John but I am 99% certain that To Do views (ie those where the Show Hierarchy is set to No) each have their own manual sort order. ie if you manually change the sort order the tasks in one view, it does not change in the other To Do views
Hierarchical views do all share the same manual sort order. ie you if you move an item in one hierarchical view, it moves in all the other hierarchical views. I have never use anything other other than Manual sorting in the hierarchical view so I can't say what happens if you apply a sort there.
