Sorting A Value List

Question 1: Is there a way to force a value list, from a field, to sort other than alphabetically? I need the choices to be grouped by topic. Can this be accomplished?

Question 2: Is there any way to get a value list to wrap a single choice on multiple lines rather than on one line that goes on eternally, frequently getting cut off? Several of the choices in my value list, unfortunately mandated by state law, are wordy. I'd love it if I could read more than just the first 10 or so words before having to make a choice and the form layout is predetermined. I realize I could develop a layout just for data entry that would accommodate but I'd rather not if I can avoid it.

I'm using FileMaker 4.03. Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
