One way we've manged to get this working is to sort out test case based on the numeric ID (01 at the beginning of test case names). For example:

01 Test Case 1
02 Test Case 2
03 Test Case 3
04 Test Case 4
05 Test Case 5
06 Test Case 6
07 Test Case 7
08 Test Case 8
09 Test Case 9
10 Test Case 10
etc

This is valid if you have test case in double digit, if you have more test cases, instead 01, use 001 and 0001 and so on. You'd still have to click on "modified date" and then hit one more time on the test case name to get the sorting to work.

If you've used other ways or has better suggestion please feel free to comment.
