Define status order

I may have missed this, but I can't find a way to define the order of values for "Status"

I'm adding new statuses to JIRA in order to match our workflow. For example, I have "New" status (which will precede the "Open" status).

However, if I order issues in JIRA by their status, issues are ordered as "Open" > "New" > "In Progress" > "Resolved"

I'd need to be able to specify the order ("New" > "Open" > "In Progress" > "Resolved") for the status field (same way as priorities, resolutions and issue types can be ordered)

Note: Workaround from the comments also documented in How to re-order statuses. This workaround does not apply to OnDemand customers.
