Yes.
Assume your data is in A2:A13
Enter the following formulas:
B2: =LEFT(A2,FIND("_",A2&"_")-1)
C2: =MID(A2,1+FIND("_",A2&"_"),63)
Fill B2:C2 down to row 13.
Select some cell in the table, or A2:C13
Data/Sort
Sort by: Column B
Sort On: Values
Order: Custom list = grape, cherry, etc.
Sort by: Column A
Sort On: Vaues
Order: Custom List = red, green, yellow
Hide columnns B&C
