create_view method does not work on hosted feature layers if layer ids are not in sequential order.

[ramcgreg]

Describe the bug
create_view method does not work on hosted feature layers whose layer ids are not in sequential order. (ie unique layer ids has been enabled and layers were moved, EVEN IF YOU REALIZE YOU DID THIS AND TURN OFF ASSIGN UNIQUE IDS (pardon all caps)).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

source_search = gis.content.search("hosted feature service with layer ids NOT in sequential order")[0]
source_flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(source_search)

new_view = source_flc.manager.create_view(name="output view name")

error:

<copy the full error message here>

The resulting view has layers with differently ordered layer ids. When opened in map viewer, layers are out of order and often their type (point line polygon) is altered. Resulting view is completely unusable. See link to geonet post below.
Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Expected behavior
A normal feature service view is created.

Platform (please complete the following information):

• OS: [e.g. iOS] Windwos 11
• Browser [e.g. chrome, safari] Chrome
• Python API Version [e.g. 1.6.2] (you can get this by typing print(arcgis.__version__) Most recent verson on AGOL.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here, attachments etc.

@ramcgreg

There is a parameter on the create view called preserve_layer_ids where the default is False. Have you tried with this set to True?

[ramcgreg]

I have not. I did not know about that. I will try that and definitely give you credit if that works. Thanks
