This is probably not a beta specific problem, but I cannot confirm that, as I have just started to use this particular guide.
In the passage guide, under the Ancient Literature section, if you change the sort order to show 'Type' instead of 'Work', this is not remembered. As soon as the guide updates, either manually or through linked passage, it returns to Work as the sort order.
The reason I would like it to remember is that the text overlaps in my narrow column when set to the default as below, but also I would prefer the default to be 'Type'

I also noticed Faithlife Sermons and Figuartive Language have the same issue remembering, so perhaps it was never meant to actually remember, so might not be a bug.
Thanks
