The trellis (and other) features will resort your stuff alphabetically so if you need to keep certain things in front, you need to add a series of leading spaces to the value, which will cause them to remain sorted your way but still appear the same when used as a field name, something like this:

| makeresults count=5
| streamstats count
| eval sortmebad=case(count==1, "one", count==2, "two", count==3, "three", count==4, "four", true(), "five")
| eval sortmegood=case(count==1, "    one", count==2, "   two", count==3, "  three", count==4, " four", true(), "five")
| multireport
[ | sort 0 sortmebad | eval sortmegood=null() ]
[ | sort 0 sortmegood | eval sortmebad=null() ]
