You can use a delimited text file (flat file) by setting up an ODBC data source
that uses the Microsoft text driver for .txt or .csv files. I find it easier
to use tab delimited files instead of comma delimited because occasionally

The proper solution would be a separate table that contains the state
codes with their desired sort order. That table is joined to the main
table. This is probably best if you have to list all 50+ states.
If you only need to list three states, then I would use CASE as Azadi
