View Hierarchy - Non-alphabetical sort

Hi all-
I would like to create a view that allows me to control how I want a field value sorted.  
The specific example is that I have a field that indicates the importance of a form.

The available values are:
Urgent
High
Medium
Low

I would like to sort it this way, but every time I create a view, it defaults to sorting it alphabetical, like this:

High
Low
Medium
Urgent

I would like to be able to reverse the sort too.

Thanks for your help!

Insert a hidden column, sorted ascending, just to the left of your column, with a translation formula, like
    @Replace(Priority; "Urgent":"High":"Medium":"Low"; "A":"B":"C":"D")

You can unsort your column then.
