Is there a way to have dynamic filters display options the way they are sorted in a multiple-choice drop down, rather than in alphabetical order?

I have a multiple-choice field "Status" with options that are listed in the order that I would like them to appear, which they do on my forms.  However, when I create a report and use the Status field as a filter, the filter options on the side of the report are listed in alphabetical order.  Any way to get them to list in the order I have them on the drop-down for the field, other than adding a leading number to sort them?  I'd rather not do that as I have some formula fields that calculate based on Status that I would then have to change also.  Thanks!
