Hi Community members,  
I hope everyone is doing well during these holidays.

In regards to my question, i hope i can explain it to you and hope someone can help me.  
I have created a Glide Classic app. (I made this app before Glide changed their apps/pages)  
In this app I keep track of all the plastic scale models I have in inventory, or working on, or that are already done. In that list I also have some scale models as a wishlist.  
When i open the app, the list is sorted as, Inventory, then Done, then Work in Progress, then wishlist, and last Ordered.  
But I would my list to be like, Work in Progress, Done, Inventor, Ordered, and Wishlist.  
Any one has any idea on how to do this?  
I know i also can use filters and in the app i have the option to filter, but it would be nice if i could have default the list i descipted.  
Right now, i am using a Category column. And I have an Option column, in which i have all the different Category names.  
I am using a Google Sheet for all of this.  
I hope my question and my goal are clear.  
Many thanks for all your tips and help.  
But keep it simple when explaining. I did not use Glide for a while and things have changed, and i am not really used to it yet 🙂

Add an If-Then-Else column. If status is WIP then 5, Done then 4, Inventor then 3, Ordered then 2, Wishlist then 1, and sort descendingly by that If-Then-Else column.
