I *think* you can. o Create your character list in a spreadsheet row or column. o Select the range. o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Calc | Sort Lists. Note that "Copy list from" is already populated. o Click Copy to create the new list. When sorting, on the Options tab of the Sort dialogue, click "Custom sort order" and select your new sort order from the drop-down menu. I trust this helps.
