I would suggest creating a Row ID field to assign a row number based on the [US Filing Group] field (using an if elseif statement) and then sort on Row ID

Hi @Meteor ,

 

you could create a Text Input with two fields ([US Filing Group] and [Order], containing the names in the column and the required sort order as a number), join this by [US Filing Group] to your data on  and sort by [Order]. What do you think?

 

Best,

 

Roland

Hi @DavidP,

 

In a similar fashion to @DavidP I would advise you use a reference table with a RowID and a find and replace tool to append these values before sorting. The reference table would mean you don't need to debug a messy formula if the number of "values" increases further.

If this solves your issue please mark the answer as correct, if not let me know! I've attached my workflow for you to download if needed.
