I *think* you can.

o Create your character list in a spreadsheet row or column.
o Select the range.
o Go to Tools | Options... | LibreOffice Calc | Sort Lists. Note that 
"Copy list from" is already populated.
o Click Copy to create the new list.

When sorting, on the Options tab of the Sort dialogue, click "Custom 
sort order" and select your new sort order from the drop-down menu.

I trust this helps.
