Folder Formats: Quick Guide shows how to get the same setup everywhere.
If you want individual layouts to override things, you can specify whether the layout saves its own folder formats or whether it uses the normal ones. If you want it to save its own formats, you'll need to set up each tab within the layout (since each tab is independent). You may also want to turn on the Format Lock on the status bar, so that the format never changes when you change folders, and then save the layout.
(You probably do not want to turn the format lock on in general, only for that one layout that you want to override everything.)
You can also change folder formats by commands so you can have hotkeys or buttons that switch to a different way of viewing things, for example. They don't have to be tied to layouts.
