Sort that Follows NODE Order (ie: for statuses with emojis) 🔃

Explain the problem as you see it

Right now the only way to be able to sort a table view is by "Ascending" or "Descending" but I also want a way to sort it manually based on however I've ordered the nodes in that particular field's set of options.

Why is this a problem for you?

The sort function isn't useful to me at all for statuses without adding "1. ____" 2. ____" or purposefully using words that alpha-sort themselves. Coming from Airtable, where you can custom sort every field, it's a big issue with transitioning data into Tana that you'd expect to be able to sort one way or another. It's also especially frustrating with emojis (whose sort can often feel random).

Suggest a solution

Allow custom sorting based on the order the nodes are in, easily, and on a per-field level.

Really hope this gains some traction!! I thought this was how it was, but I just ran into a situation where it wasn't! I actually have no idea what controls it now.... Alphabet???
