Default lookup

Edit your formula and in the range box try typing false. This should return
what you are looking for.

The standard LOOKUP function (vector) requires that "The values in
lookup_vector must be placed in ascending order: ...,-2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...,
A-Z, FALSE, TRUE; otherwise, LOOKUP may not give the correct value. Uppercase
and lowercase text are equivalent."

This is not convenient for me. The values I have in lookup_vector must
remain unsorted.

Is there a way to do this?
