You can do that, but as long as there is some system to
the OP's desire that system is probably
implemented. Check out the help for
`gnus-group-sort-function'. I don't use topics, but I
have the below configuration to get the display order I
like, and at least what I can see, when I hit 't' (for
`gnus-topic-mode') that ordering is preserved.

(setq gnus-group-sort-function 'gnus-group-sort-by-real-name)
