Stefan,
The brute force way (though it wouldn't take much of an xsl script to do it) would be to add a sortas attribute to each term. It might also be worth checking out the code where sortas is handled and see if that's a convenient place to sneak in a customization. I've never looked at that code, so that may be a totally impractical suggestion:-).
