I have a custom column set up with 'a fixed set of permitted values'. This is a standard status column. The options are:
- Reading
- Waiting on update
- Inactive
- Completed
- Discontinued
- To Read
- On Hold

(in that order)
But, the sort order of the column seems to be alphabetical. Before I figured that out I tried to change the order in the definition, but that also kept the order alphabetical of course.

Is there a way to define a custom sort order for this column?

I'm not running from source, but I'm relatively well versed in python programming so if that is needed I should be able to do it.

Running on version 4.4 64bit
