Describe the solution you'd like
It would be nice to have a single selection field type where the Label for selection can be different from the value stored. So if you wanted a selection table by Months of the year, you could select March and store the value 3. That way all entries with March selected could be grouped for calculations but it would also provide month to month reporting based on the months in numerical order. There can be many other uses for this field type. Hopefully reports could still retrieve the label for visual representation.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. First locate the selection-field implementation and the reporting path, then clarify how labels and stored values should be represented and exposed. Done means selections can display labels, persist distinct values such as March and 3, and support the requested grouping and reporting behavior.
