I have seen this behavior when adding dvorak to my systems. If I don't delete the US layout, it always ends up as the default on reboot.

As a work-alound you can delete it from the list, and then add it back later, and it wont revert back to default.

https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=393686 seems to also be this bug. Should moving the keyboards around cause an edit to /etc/default/keyboard?
