Would be useful for sorting a list of days or months without needing a separate column

So something like an enum?

yeah, important part is that a pivot on that type has a sort order that might not be alphabetical, and all categories should be in the pivot even if no underlying rows have that value

On second thought - maybe we can make it configurable on the pivot on whether to include all categories or just the ones that are present?

Have not decided on details yet, but the only thing decided is that the current scheme wont stay.
