Default Format a number to display as alternative text

Hello All

I am trying to format a set of cells, A1:A4 that have the following values.
A1=1; A2=2; A3=3; A4=4
I however want the displayed information to show up as "Very Low", "Low",
"High" and "Very High"

If I just type the text in, I cannot find a way to sort them in the
numerical order I like because it sorts alphabetically, so I have to put them
in as numbers to get the sort working. Is there anyway I can have them
display as text or can I leave them as text and build a custom sort list so
that they will sort in the order as above.

Thanks
