You could set up a custom sort list under Tools>Options>Custom Lists...
import or type your four derivatives in the order you want to sort them.

Once you have this set up, go to data>sort... and select the options...
button, now in the 'first key  sort order' select your new list and click
ok,ok

This should sort you list how you want
