Well, you could create a list of sorted values and then sort by index in it:



var sortedValues = new List<string> {"Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Orange"};
var result = myList.OrderBy(a => sortedValues.IndexOf(a.Status));

Define a new class with Id and Name of color property.
Create an array of the class and order the array by Id.



class CutomSort
{
class Color
{
public int Id;
public string Name;
}

static void Main(string args)
{
Color input = {
new Color{Id=4, Name="Green"},
new Color{Id=3, Name="Yellow"},
new Color{ Id=1, Name="Red"},
new Color{ Id = 2, Name = "Blue" }
};

IEnumerable<Color> result = input.OrderBy(x => x.Id);

foreach (Color color in result)
{
Console.WriteLine($"{color.Id}-{color.Name}");
}

Console.ReadKey();
}
}
