Technical note: search and sorting is per view. Headers cannot be configured per view. Selections are not per view (when you select something, e.g. folder, and you switch to another view where only some tracks from this folder are shown and not the folder itself, you cannot deselect them because their parent folder is also selected).
Technical note: when you are using e.g. 2nd view, and you turn this feature off, you continue using this 2nd view (and currently you cannot change it by mouse nor by keyboard shortcuts CTLR+1 - CTRL+5).
