Is it possible to maintain a sort order of test cases within a test plan?
When I open a test plan, the test cases are listed in a particular order (call it order A). I display subgroups and sort them into a different order (call it order B). If I navigate away from the test plan, and then go back the test cases are not in order B and need to be re-sorted. This means every time I open the test plan I have to spend time sorting (and doing the same sort). Is it possible to maintain the sorting? Or is there a way to default the sorting to order B, so that I don't have to do the same sort all the time?

In addition, the test plan's 'Test Cases Section' supports a build-in ordering for the test cases in the test plan. You can only use the test plan's build-in ordering when you're showing all test cases in the list. Thus, it's only useful with relatively small amount of test cases. Once you are in show all test cases mode, you can select a test case and use the 'Move Up' and 'Move Down' list actions to re-order the test cases. Save the test plan and the list of test cases will be in the same order whenever you open the test plan.
