The Partslist pulls from the Assy BOM.
You can either re-number in the Partslist and push those overrides to the
BOM or vice-versa. The only problem with this is that even though the BOM
might have a certain sort order defined, that order won't necessarily come
into the Partslist. The Partslist still needs to be sorted manually to make
it look like the BOM.
So.... for e.g., you can do a sort in the BOM on Description then renumber
the Item no.s BUT when you place the Partslist, you'll need to do a sort on
the Item no.s to get it to match the order in the BOM.
It gets much worse if you use visiblity in the Partslist.
I'm fairly certain SSs work the same way but Leader Text (without the
leader -click once then immediately RMB->Continue and no leader will be
created) placed WITHIN the view border upon initial placement will follow
the view. (even if moved outside the view border afterwards)
There should be no reason why you can't edit the view label text and add any
manual view annotation. Once the "manual" annotation is added, edit the view
and turn off the View Label/Scale and the "manual" annotation will remain
visible.

I have a large model with almost 6200 parts. The model was constructed with
as many sub-assemblies as possible. However, I need to make a general
arrangement drawing, and the performance of the drawing is getting
unmanageable. I read previously that some people said rather then have a
seven sheet drawing in one file, have seven files one sheet each. I'm
thinking about trying this, but have a few questions.
1) How are balloons handled? What would happen if I re-number the BOM?
2) What do I do about section labels? I can make a sketched symbol, but how
can I ensure they stay put on the drawing where I want them?
