Why does nobody talk about the time it takes to fix a messed up layer state in a 200 page PDF?

I had to update a set of standard details for a city permit, and my layer states got scrambled when merging files. It took me almost three hours to manually re-sort and rename everything instead of the thirty minutes I planned. What's your go-to method for keeping layer states clean on big multi-sheet projects?

You ever try using a separate template file just for layer states? I keep a clean master drawing with all the correct states saved, then import them into new sheets. It's saved me from rebuilding them from scratch more than once.
