It’s not all that bad. You just gotta know how to finesse it.
For example:
Copy and paste a custom list.
Drag the new list below the old list.
Grab all components within the new list.
Drag all components below the new list so that they will be outside of the new list.
The new list can be deleted as it has nothing inside of it.
Grab all components that you dragged out of the list and click “make a list”.
Then, adjust filters and sorting options.
Last, reinsert the magic texts.
