execution reordering in test plan

Is there a way to re-order the execution steps within a test plan for test cases in multiple test suites?

For instance, if a test plan contain test cases from multiple test suites, there is a way to reorder the TC execution steps within a specific test suite but not for the overall execution steps of all test case in multiple suites. There is also no way to reorder the test suite execution steps.

Here is the test specification order:
TS1 (TC1, TC2, TC3)
TS2 (TC1, TC2, TC3)
TS3 (TC1, TC2, TC3)

I like to reorder the test plan execution as follows:
TS2 (TC2, TC1, TC3)
TS1 (TC1, TC2, TC3)
TS3 (TC3, TC2, TC1)

How can this be done?

You can use drag and drop method. Use the tree method "EXT-JS". and can reorder you test suites as you like

I don't really understand solution provided.
Are you sure you're talking about reordering TCs in Test Plan execution?

While I'm on Execute page for a TestPlan, suites and cases in the tree on the left are not "movable", and there's a functionality to reorder test case Execution only withing one TestSet using Order field and Save order button.

I would like to have possibility to reorder completely test cases within Test Plan, without chainging Test Specification area.

E.g. I have tests to test some security-like stuff.
My Test Specification is something like:
User1 Test Suite:
-action1
-action2
-action1
User2:
-action1
-action2
-action3

It's easier to test it as a Workflow, so I would like to have something like:
User1 action1; User2 action2; User1 action3
User2 action1; User1 action2, User2 action3

If I didn't understood I apologizes, I don't know how am I suppose to use EXT-JS method...

Its not possible in test plan, but at least you can do that test specifications level. So that you will be getting correct order. It worked for me. Give it a tree. You will be having some sort of buttons like re-order tcs/test suites. It is availble only for one component i guess

$tlCfg->treemenu_type = 'EXTJS';

Right now i was unable to give the details, i am having some problem with my apache services. I will tell you when this solved.
