FeatureLayerCollection.manager.create_view creates view with incorrect number of sublayers (ArcGIS Online)

In code:

schema_item = gis.content.get(schema_itemId) view_layers =[] a_layer = schema_item.layers[2] view_layers.append(a_layer) a_layer = schema_item.layers[5] view_layers.append(a_layer) a_layer = schema_item.layers[4] view_layers.append(a_layer) a_layer = schema_item.layers[3] view_layers.append(a_layer) flc = FeatureLayerCollection.fromitem(schema_item) view_item = flc.manager.create_view(name=target_view_name, view_layers=view_layers)

A nice simple view with four layers. Clean code.

The results in the ArcGIS Online portal shows 2 layers in the view (WRONG!):

The results in the REST catalog shows 4 sublayers (RIGHT!):

Adding the view to ArcGIS Pro shows only 2 sublayers (WRONG):

However I can add the sublayers one-at-a-time by the sublayer path:

What's going on here? I need all four layers.

TIA

After poking around in the view using https://ago-assistant.esri.com/ I have identified that the id of the individual layers are oddly ordered - some repeats, some no-existent indexes, etc. If I manually increment the layer ids in the json, all layers are present and properly indexed.

I am having a similar problem. If the layer ids in a service are not sequentially ordered, create_view will create a view with messed up layer order.
