Sorting list by number contained in same cell as name?

Hi, I created a list with names and after each name a difficulty.
Easy, Normal, Hard and Brutal.
It looks something like this

Name 1 HARD
Name 2 EASY
Name 3 EASY
Name 4 BRUTAL
Name 5 HARD
.. etc


I want to be able to sort the second colum (difficulty), not alphabetically, but in order of their value.
So: Easy, Normal, Hard, Brutal
Or: Brutal, Hard, Normal, Easy

I can only arrange them alphabetically, can anyone help me?

Thanks,
cxn

Oh damn That'd make my spreedsheet ugly :p

How would I be able to link them?

1=easy
2=normal
etc..

I guess in 1 column?

Oh cool ^_^

How do I make that helper column though?
