Hi Lena,
I can understand what your trying to do and thank you for your explanation. Just as
Vincent Loffeldsays there is no standard feature to do this. It is by design that when adding new breakdowns to your indicators a sort order is added. Your request is to be able to configure this when adding the breakdown to indicators. I will create a story in the backlog for this request although I cannot commit that this will see the light anytime soon, earliest possible release will be H.
In the meantime as a workaround you could use the 'pa_indicator_breakdowns' table to control the ordering of your breakdowns. If you would like to have them always sorted alphabetically then simply remove the ordering. This will force a ordering in alphabetical order. I've attached a screenshot of the list report below. Using filters, grouping, sorting, etc..., you should be able to much granularly control which breakdowns receive what ordering.
