Is it possible to save custom views for columns?
I would like to be able to show, hide, sort, and order columns via a template. I am able to filter based on specific conditions but I also need to be able to view the data a specific way.

You can use filters in the sheets to show specific rows or use different reports to sort rows and to hide or change the order of columns. It sounds to me as multiple reports that are sorted and arranged in the specific views that you want and need would be the best solution.

Otherwise, I dont see an easy solution.

The SSFeatures browser extension allows you to save and load column "Views" for column visibility, as well as saving sort "settings" for sorting.
