Could you please explain what possible useful purpose it serves?
To elaborate, it's as Peke and Lowlander explained: if the sort order is changed but not saved:
1) then the only indication that the Playlist order is not in its sort order is that the entries in the # are out of order. this is important to know because otherwise:
- it's unclear that the track order displayed isn't the actual order of tracks in the playlists
- it explains why tracks can't be dragged/dropped to change order of a static playlist
2) it provides an obvious way to revert the display order to the playlist order--by sorting by the # column (there are alternatives such as using F5 or exiting/re-entering the node, but most users aren't aware of this)

That said, we'll look into what can be done, though it may not make it into the initial release.
