AdvancedDatagrid grouping

Question

I would lik to give the grouping field in the advanceddatagrid a custom predefined  order.
For instance , assume that i am grouping the data based on the department which could have "Management, Finance and sales", the group by default sorts in the alphabetical order having the data of finance group displayed first and then Manangement and then sales ..But i would like to give a custom order in which Management group is displayed first and then Finance and then sales..Any ides as how to do it?

I think that for purposes of grouping, the label of the group
determines the
grouping. You can probably display a different label with a
separate label
function.
