Description

### Describe the bug

If you set up a filter on a dashboard with dropdown values derived from a column from another question, the values in the dropdown are in ascending order, regardless of the original order of values in the question.

In addition, there doesn't seem to be a way to control this in the filter settings, and/or at the user-level.

### To Reproduce

Reproducible on stats: https://stats.metabase.com/dashboard/3170-github-issue-words?feature_cluster=Visualization&issue_opened_at_1=2025-02-01&issue_opened_at_2=2025-02-28&release=0.50.32&tab=1420-by-milestone

The `Release` filter values here are in ascending order, but in the [question](https://stats.metabase.com/question/23904-milestones) they're in descending order. And there doesn't seem to be a way to change it.

### Expected behavior

It should match the order from the source question and/or be customizable.
