Description
When I clone a board the columns and cards are mixeds up. I would expect to always get a 1:1 copy of the latest version of the board.
(I didn't test it, but the confusing might get triggered when changing column orders etc after initial creation, maybe cloning follows than the internal IDs defined when initially creating the board, and not the last stage after people might have moved, renamed, etc columns, cards etc.)
Example, my on-boarding template board:
This is how the cloned version looks like:
As you can see, the cards get "blindly" added to the first, second,... column but the column order change.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported board clone using a board whose columns and cards have been reordered or renamed, then compare the original and cloned column order and card assignments. Trace the board-cloning entry point and add coverage for the example behavior; done means the clone is a 1:1 copy of the board’s latest state.
