How can I sort Test Folders that are parented by the same parent Test Folder, other than by the Test Folder ID?

  • 1.  How can I sort Test Folders that are parented by the same parent Test Folder, other than by the Test Folder ID?

    I have a Test Folder that has several child Test Folders underneath it.

     

    I want to change the sort order to display the child Test Folders in an order that is not based on the Test Folder ID's, but I can't see how to do that.

     

    Whenever I try to move a child Test Folder into a different order, the only option is to move it to another Test Folder (re-parenting it to that other Test Folder).

     

    If this is a limitation of CA Agile Central, then I just need to confirm; otherwise, please advise how to change the sort order.

     

    Thanks.

    The reason for this is because the filters and sorts on this and most other pages only filters/sorts on that top-level item that the page is meant to display, not necessarily the child items. A good idea to allow some sort of ordering, though!
