How to sort items in google sheet with custom criteria
I am having items in my google sheet under a priority column.
Priority
Must have
Could have
Must have
Should have
Should have
I want to apply the sorting so that all "must have" values are on top then "should have" and then "could have". Please help.

If you don't use Excel, don't tag with Excel. The two products are not the same and there are considerable differences in functionality.
