Unfortunately this is a limitation of the grid UI. I've not tried this, but it might be possible to modify the fetchxml of the savedquery entity that represents the view. The change you need is to put an <order> element within the link-entity.
It is supported to change the fetchxml attribute of a savedquery via the Crm SDK, though not directly via SQL
