Please change the behavior for sorting anny view for any entity to the label
name instead of the value of the label.
as Microsoft CRM 3.0 has a bit strange way of the sorting behavior in views
for columns with pick list values

When in a view (any view for any entity)
When a column is a pick list field
When I sort the view on the column which is a pick list field

The sorting order is not by label name
The sorting order is not by order in the pick list
The sorting order appears to be on the value belonging to the label

result looks to be un-logical

The picklists appear to be sorted based on the AttributeValue column in the
StringList table. There is another column in that table, DisplayOrder, which
appears to be the one intended to determine the display order, but in actual
fact doesn't seem to be used.
