The categories, and items within each, are sorted in a manner which
makes sense to our business but requires a 'sort field'

Rather than mess up your nice database that up to this point seems to be
working fine for you, why not just sort the output on the client side,
or rather, let them sort the columns the way they want:

As long as your display output is a table....
