I have edited the HubSpot property “Lead Status” to be:

- Hot
- Warm
- Cold
- General

On the dropdown list, I have sorted them in this order.

When I go to view them in the contact view, I want them to show in this order with blank fields below general.

At the moment, when the field is blank is shows above Hot, or I have to sort them back to front.
