Well, starting in 4x you can sort by function (see http://wiki.apache.org/solr/FunctionQuery). So if your encoding is such that you can write a function that maps the order you can probably realize this. You could probably combine that with external file fields (or maybe even an sidecar index) that made this easily changeable.
