Default sorting using letters , but not alphabetically.

Hi I want write a macro to sort a spreadsheet with the rows being ordered
from a particular collumn which contain the following letters: W, SA, SA+, ST
and blank cells. I need the rows to be sorted in that order from top to
bottom. I.E. a;; the `W` rows first, all the ` SA` rows next etc.

Now, I know I could create a collumn next to it with perhaps a vlookup
reference of say W=1. SA =2 etc, and then sort on that instead, but belive it
or not, I`m almost out of collumns (it`s a big spreadsheet) and also some of
my other refences might be affected if I go and plonk another collumn in now.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys
