That makes sense. Since I wasn't using it to sync to a device I can just use a saved search.
Perhaps in the next version it would make sense to grey it out for autopop lists.

That reminds me of another bug I meant to report. Very minor though so it may not be worth the effort to fix. Steps to replicate:
1. Have some books on a manual list. Make sure the reading order series column is set.
2. Go to RL settings. Change the series name.
3. Don't make any changes to the list, so that all the books still have the old series name.
4. Remove one of the books from the list.
Expected behaviour: All other books on the list get the new series name. The old series name is removed from the removed book.
Actual behaviour: All other books get the new series name. However, the removed book retains the old series name.
This might be a bit troublesome under one situation, though:
1. Somebody has two reading lists, with series name Banana and Orange.
2. They rename Banana to Orange, and Orange to Papaya.
3. They remove a book from Papaya. The series column will still say Orange, and it'll still appear if they click on "Orange" in the tag browser. I'm not sure if there might be other errors that occur because of this.
