If you custom order a collection and then add one of the items in that collection to another collection the custom order for that item in the original collection changes.
Yes this bug was already reported in August 21 2021, but it is still there 
Additionally if you re-order an item in one collection, and if that item is also present in another collection, then that other collection also changes.
After a night sleep I did implement a workaround; using Python I create collections, which I all want to have sorted by IMDB rating. Like “IMDB top 250”, “Top new RomCom”, “Top Westerns” etc. So, using my python script, I first edit (and lock) the sort title by prepending the “reversed” IMDB rating to the sort title; with as formula “100 - 10*imdb_rating”. So a rating of 9.3 yields a Sort Title of “07 Shawshank Redemption”.
Since I want to have all collections only sorted by IMDB rating, this works nicely (the Collection sort order must be set to alphabetically of course). This does naturally impact the sorting of titles all over Plex, but I never use alphabetical sorting anyway for anything else.
