RAP: SmartFilterBar Filter MultiComboBox Field Ordering

[axel_brke3]

Hi, we are using a SmartFilterBar with a RAP Backend Service. 

This is the Annotation of the Field

 @Consumption: {
    valueHelpDefinition: [ { entity: { name: '/LUNEH/FR_CI_DFLST_INV_STAT_VH', element: 'Status' }, distinctValues: true } ],
    filter: { multipleSelections: true, selectionType: #SINGLE, hidden: false }
    }
    .fieldGroup: [{label: 'Status'}]
    @EndUserText.label: 'Status'  
    Status; 

Currently they are sorted alphabetically. We would like to sort the entries in a different order. Can I somehow do this without implementing a Custom Field?

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction! I solved this by adding the following annoation in the header of the Filter Dropdown CDS View:

@ui.presentationVariant: [{ sortOrder: [{ by: 'Status' }] }]
