Create an IF column.  
If the status is true, then return “Delivered”  
else if false, then return “Returned”  
else, return “New Order” or the status column value

Then you can use that IF column as the title for your switch component.

If I understand the situation right, for displaying purposes you can just create a new If Then Else column as Jeff said.

If status is “New order” then “New order”.  
If status is “false” then “Returned”.  
If status is “true” then “Delivered”.

However, just for keeping the data in a good shape, I would restructure the flow to use “Returned” and “Delivered” directly instead of true and false. Just my personal preference.
