Enable test re-ordering in dynamic test lists
I want to be able to re-order the tests inside a dynamic test list.

I attempted to alphabetize and keep the tests in the same folder of the project hierarchy as Konstantin mentioned.  To no avail.  With test cases in the same folder named, "Able", "Cat", and "Adam", Cat was executed first, then Able and then Adam.  Just short of a good feature here.  Grrrr...

Just to follow up here as well.

The alphabetical order and folder structure in the project directly affects the runtime order of tests in a dynamic test list. So there is some kind of limited control on the order of tests in dynamic test list basically matching the order of tests in the project tree (as you see it in the project explorer in Test Studio).

Hi Iliyan, if the name of the tests are changed does it change the order at all?
Or is there any other property we can adjust that will affect this?

There are some technical restrictions here, caused by the current dynamic test lists implementation.
The actual list of tests that is being executed is being built by the execution agent prior execution,  according to the rules set in the dynamic test list. This is why the reordering inside the test list is disabled. No matter how you order the tests in the test list inside Test Studio, they will be executed in the way the runner assembles them prior execution.
