Columns' order changes when I switch between filters

I don't understand exactly the logic behind how the columns' order works but the order of the columns changes when I select a different filter and then return to the previous filter.
It probably happens when I mix up columns I have added through "Tools > Options > Home" and columns I have added in a specific filter. It seems like columns that have been added to filters are assigned a fixed position, and that mixes up the order of the columns when different filters have different numbers of total columns. But again, I haven't really understood how exactly this works.
Here is an example in case you want to reproduce it:
Through "Tools > Options > Home", I have selected the following columns (in that order):
Name
Size
Date Modified
Path
Date Created
Date Accessed
Then I have added to the "Everything" filter the following columns:
Descendant File Count
Length
Extension
Dimensions
Finally, I create a filter "Files", in which I add the columns:
Length
Extension
Dimensions
Now, I re-order the "Everything" filter's columns' order like this:
Name
Size
Descendant File Count
Date Modified
Path
Date Created
Date Accessed
Length
Extension
Dimensions
Then, I select the "Files" filter, and then the "Everything" filter again.
The "Everything" filter's columns have now been re-arranged with the "Date Accessed" column going last.
