Type List order in Advanced Search

Type List order in Advanced Search

Is it possible to change the order or the default object selection in the "Search For" object list under the Advanced Search scope? I've already removed stuff that we don't need to see.

Currently it defaults to "Document" presumably since it is sorted alphabetically. I want to have Workgroup Manager CAD Document be the default for the Organization. Normally no one but me searches for anything else and it's a nuisance to have to change the selection every time one of our users creates a new search, however I don't want to remove the other remaining objects in case they're needed.

By changing the browser language setting, I can see that the sort order
appears to be based on the display value of the search objects.

Since this value should be localizable in a resource bundle somewhere,
then you should be able to modify your site's display values to sort
however you want (i.e. 01 I want this first, etc.).

Here is Spanish vs English. Note how the sort order is based on the
localized display value.
