Additional Information
To preserve the order, preserve_layer_ids must be set to True, and the layers/tables must be provided to the view. res2 = mgr.create_view( name=f"my_view_{uuid.uuid4().hex[:4]}", view_layers=[item.layers[3], item.layers[1]], preserve_layer_ids=True, ) This results in a layer with two layers in the view. The layer IDs are preserved as 83 and 1.Workaround
- Use the ArcGIS Online user interface (UI) to create the layer view.
- Keep the default sequential layer IDs (0,1, 2, 3, and so forth).
