How do I sort KPI's in a web part?

Hi all.

I've been fiddling with KPI's for a little while and although I can
get them to do most of what I want (within the scope of their
functionality) there's one thing that has me stumped.

How do I sort the KPI's in a web part view of a dashboard? As of now
they get sorted by their ID (i.e. the order they've been created)
which is less than optimal in most cases.

I've gone through all the properties in the "Modify Shared Web Part"
menu, none of them apply to sort order AFAICT.

I tried creating a specific view that has the correct sort order to
base the web part on but this doesn't work either.

I just now fired up SharePoint Designer in the hope of finding a way
to do it there but I've only used SharePoint Designer a few times and
couldn't really find my way around it yet so no dice there either.

Is there a way to do this without coding?

TIA.

In your browser, open the page where you have the KPI Web Part. Make
sure you are signed in as a Site Administrator.

Hovering over the area to the right of each Indicator listed on the
page, the Open Menu drop-down appears. In that list, you will find
the option to Move Up or Move Down.

Sorry but those are greyed out - even when logged on as owner of the
entire MOSS installation.
