Hello Pia Bäckman ,
Thank you for your idea.

There is a possibility in the product to customize out-of-the-box configuration for different lists via Metadata.config file

Documentation for this can be found here: https://docs.rws.com/en-US/tridion-docs-main-documentation-1151795/metadataconfig-xml-structure-for-list-views-64668 
However, this is a system-wide setting.

Based on your experience do you think that users in your company require an option for a per-user setting? 
Also would be interesting to know if such a configuration option is required per different lists or a general setting per user for all lists.
Thank you
