Default turn off pivotfield sort

I have pivot table with 1 row field. It is fiscal period label. The
source data looks like

sub1 costset value period date

1.1.1 Project Office ACWP 8.74 JAN FY06 1/29/2006

1.1.1 Project Office LRE 7.4 MAR FY06 3/26/2006
1.1.1 Project Office LRE 7.22 APR FY06 4/30/2006

When I use the the period as row field it sorts it alphabetically like

APR FY06
AUG FY06
DEC FY06
FEB FY06
JAN FY06
JUL FY06
JUN FY06
MAR FY06
MAY FY06
OCT FY07
SEP FY06

I can't use the date col and format it because oct, nov, dec are in
different fiscal years than calendar years

Is there a way around this?

Thanks
